The premise sounds engaging but a disjointed occasionally boring narrative is tough to get excited about especially given all of the exciting books available for reading! Still, I have completely decided aginast this book. Thank you for your sincere, terrific review!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-5768359128791879692011-08-20T14:05:26.324-04:002011-08-20T14:05:26.324-04:00Glad to know what you thought -- I've been tee...Glad to know what you thought -- I've been teetering on the fence about this one for awhile.

Once he grew up and got to CA I was a little more interested, but in the end, I wasn't wholly onboard with this book.Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-70536292057505290482011-08-15T16:32:07.888-04:002011-08-15T16:32:07.888-04:00Too bad this one didn't work out.

The whole idea of a practice baby is fascinating, but there have been too many parts where I found myself wanting to skip pages.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10768659447473760201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-47254643861883073112011-08-15T10:13:38.303-04:002011-08-15T10:13:38.303-04:00I have been really interested in this book since f...I have been really interested in this book since first hearing about it, but it sounds like it might have been a bit poorly executed. I totally get what you are saying about bits seeming boring, and other bits not being as fleshed out as you would have hoped. I still want to check this one out, but I will have to temper my expectations, I think.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
