Re: I like books too

[Bethany Keeley <blk4 at calvin_edu>]

Its been a while since I read it, but I remember that the main 
character was probably someone I wouldn't like if I met her, but I was 
rooting for her anyway.  I liked that she somehow came to terms with 
who her father was and his life.  I liked that everything didn't get 
totally solved, but it was real life, and things were looking up.  And 
every once in a while Lamott has a great couple of lines that just make 
me shiver.

the Potter is similar in that way.  I love the way Rowling describes 
things, and her dialogue is so great.
