This also means that there is great re-read potential and during the re-read you may actually enjoy the book even more.

It was such a fantastic book, and even though I can't imagine Gavin topping it, I can't wait to see what he writes next.<br /><br />And I totally know what you mean about the Owen Meany book - that's how I felt about Let the Right One In. I wasn't crazy about it while reading it, but I kept on thinking about it and the characters even when I wasn't reading it. That's always impressive.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196903315080725315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-89398294284433001772013-11-08T14:36:08.102+02:002013-11-08T14:36:08.102+02:00Maybe I should give Owen Meany a try...it has defi...Maybe I should give Owen Meany a try...it has definitely been around the blog world recently to rave reviews.Oh, Alex Woods...an amazing book and I agree, hard to follow.
