I need to pick up the second book sometime.dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-81820205017353425582016-10-03T07:58:01.764-06:002016-10-03T07:58:01.764-06:00I'm sure it was absolutely brilliant, Helena :...I'm sure it was absolutely brilliant, Helena :)Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-27278279947942642972016-10-03T00:59:07.727-06:002016-10-03T00:59:07.727-06:00I did read the book and enjoyed it, but was frustr...I did read the book and enjoyed it, but was frustrated at the end when it clearly meant I'd have to read the sequel to see what happens. I do plan to see the movie.<br /><br />Interesting factoid: the author of the book originally wrote a picture book based on the weird vintage photos he had collected, but his editor advised him to write more of a narrative around those photos, hence the novel. It became a bestseller (and an unusual one, if you've ever looked through it), and good for him!<br /><br />BTW, I know I left a comment this last Monday on your post, Mike. But it was late and I probably clicked on the wrong button and it never posted. My bad. But I'm sure my comment was brilliant.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967821142796562697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-7096214866469953382016-09-30T11:54:39.264-06:002016-09-30T11:54:39.264-06:00I have a hard time with movies when I can't an...I have a hard time with movies when I can't anchor them in some sort of reality.
