Sometimes it isn't the best but the book is really good. Other times, well...not good to start not good through and if you make it to the end just not good there either.<br /><br />It does seem they really do need a catcher at the start.Melissa (My World...in words and pages)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09621830513280969319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-44936159070879241092009-09-18T20:37:20.233-07:002009-09-18T20:37:20.233-07:00Your analysis of the first sentence sound very muc...Your analysis of the first sentence sound very much like mine!

I agree with you about the word usage issue.
