I too enjoy those old, forgotten public domain books, but sometimes it can be hard to find reviews of them, especially ones as well-written as yours. I look forward to exploring your site further and adding some books to my to-be-read list!Bree (Another Look Book)http://anotherlookbook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-79501798303382151632014-03-21T17:12:47.009+01:002014-03-21T17:12:47.009+01:00Good point, Jenny :-)Good point, Jenny :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-54506376588336181932014-03-21T13:31:54.759+01:002014-03-21T13:31:54.759+01:00It sounds like an interesting and thought provokin...It sounds like an interesting and thought provoking book. Probably just as well the author did write a bok about it, as his blog posts probably would not have survived this long, or be so buried that they were impossible to find! :)Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-56113876053718154622014-03-20T19:51:25.341+01:002014-03-20T19:51:25.341+01:00Hello JO, if I am not very much mistaken, this is ...Hello JO, if I am not very much mistaken, this is the first time I see you here.

Unusually, though, this one was written by a man, but - in my opinion - he depicted the female characters in a very credible manner, while some of the male characters remain a bit two-dimensional. Both male and female ones are shown with strengths and weaknesses, just like real people.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-47009988641907864292014-03-20T08:24:09.662+01:002014-03-20T08:24:09.662+01:00You are welcome, Terra!You are welcome, Terra!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-33974280250607578302014-03-20T05:42:56.784+01:002014-03-20T05:42:56.784+01:00I've never heard of this author either, but th...I've never heard of this author either, but the price is right and you've made it sound interesting, so it's on my kindle now.
