I've generally had good luck up to now with store-bought books...this one just torked me really because someone had actually torn it with their chocolate fingers.NancyOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12027036137062767840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008954639175647714.post-50635121609279851942010-05-17T00:01:59.209-04:002010-05-17T00:01:59.209-04:00Gwen: there's another really good review at Eu...Gwen: there's another really good review at <a href="http://www.eurocrime.co.uk/reviews/The_Informer.html" rel="nofollow">Eurocrime</a>, one of my favorite spots for crime fiction. <br><br>Thanks so much for your comment!NancyOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12027036137062767840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008954639175647714.post-34376030434396111422010-05-16T21:44:35.370-04:002010-05-16T21:44:35.370-04:00I just added this to my list, absolutely wonderful...I just added this to my list, absolutely wonderful review of what sounds like a great book.

For instance, you are the only one to notice what I was doing by mentioning students at the “special school”, which, of course, was the attempt to say a lot without really saying it, which is one of the things fiction can do. Or, maybe it is my theory that something recognized is worth ten times something that is explained. <br><br>Well, enough theory. <br><br>I wanted to take a moment to say thanks. <br><br>Craig NovaCraig Novahttp://craignova.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008954639175647714.post-59713715211909815422010-05-16T02:31:27.901-04:002010-05-16T02:31:27.901-04:00One of the reasons I don't buy books in stores...One of the reasons I don't buy books in stores with coffee shops is due to having been caught buying new books with chocolate fingerprints on the inside.
