john, john, john!!
you suck me in.
every time!
there's this matrix on wikipedia. i am sure you have seen it. the matrix makes me sigh and amuses me. it's a conundrum.
near the end of the book, I felt like you were ticking boxes. giving readers a list of socially important things to mull. i don't take issue with the issues...they are important and need to be written about so that tolerance and acceptance become the norms...i take issue with the fact this device (is that what it was?) interrupted the flow of the story and yanked me out of my irving induced haze of literary delight. it was like being smacked in the face with a big fish. possibly a frozen big fish.
that cost you one-star. no. i will not give it back.
i still love you.
call me.
