The romance didn't work for me, but otherwise I liked it.<br /><br />The Undivided series is terrific! It made me a fan of Neal Shusterman. I actually got to meet him at a literacy festival.<br /><br />My husband is into zombies. He devours the Walking Dead show. A couple of years ago, he also discovered the Higson books.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591345148771025453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-83607759936961239032015-02-23T23:38:41.968-05:002015-02-23T23:38:41.968-05:00Elmore Leonard is a blast from the past for me.

I was already interested in reading Review of Fun Home but I figured out that it is the Alison Bechdel who came up with the Bechdel test for movies. I really want to read this book now!Cheriee Weichelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662398117320256935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-56051721587004326172015-02-23T23:15:49.806-05:002015-02-23T23:15:49.806-05:00Yes to A Constellation of Vital Phenomena!
