Read from January 07 to 09, 2012

Knowing this was a first work, I read it with some leeway. Loved the phrasing. Loved the artful and deep development of characters in such a seemingly simple way. Did NOT like being preached to as the dirty American--but beyond the politics, enjoyed the story.

I, Curmudgeon I don't like being preached to as "the dirty american" either... every time I've been overseas, I'm sure the dirty american was always somebody else. (Never me, of course.)
