The genre reader in me didn't like how the book closes out - but the librarian in me understands that that particular episode *needed* to be at the end for maximum emotional impact. Another instance of where Real Life really, really sucks sometimes.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-39659506078665043922017-07-01T10:30:07.645-07:002017-07-01T10:30:07.645-07:00I used to really love biographies and memoirs but ...I used to really love biographies and memoirs but haven't read many recently.

Partly, it's because of her support of Cruise and Gibson, but because I'm not that into current Hollywood stuff.<br /><br />Good haul, regardless, no?aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.com
