Elisabeth Elisabeth said: "I zipped right through the first 3/4 of the book, and dragged my feet through the end. Was this because the last 4th of the book was uninteresting, you wonder? Was it perhaps due to an unsatisfactory direction taken by the plot?

Elisabeth's favorite quotes

"This will be the greatest momment of artistic inspiration since Mona Lisa told Leonardo she was in a slightly odd mood."
— Black Adder

"The Pekes and the Pollicles, everyone knows,
Are proud and implacable, passionate foes;
It is always the same, wherever one goes.
And the Pugs and the Poms, although most people say
that they do not like fighting, will often display
Every symptom of wanting to join in the fray.
And they
Bark bark bark bark bark bark
Until you can hear them all over the park.
"
T.S. Eliot

"The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame.
He might get burned, but he's in the game.
And once he's in, he can't go back, he'll
Beat his wings 'til he burns them black...
No, The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame. . .
The Moth don't care if The Flame is real,
'Cause Flame and Moth got a sweetheart deal.
And nothing fuels a good flirtation,
Like Need and Anger and Desperation...
No, The Moth don't care if The Flame is real. . . "
Aimee Mann
