yes. Feel the pain. It is a very real, very true pain. (APPARENTLY YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE ABLE TO RITE GUD IN ORDER TO WIN PULITZERS that's not fair maybe his editorial work is better than his creative nonfiction.)
I am theoretically enjoying it--I have a little teehee every time Goblin Market is mentioned--but I just really only care about Alan, and long for the rich complexities of Felix and Mildmay's relationship. There's something not-quite-on that I can't put my finger on--a combination of dialogue that's almost too realistic, and relationships and behavior that are overstated rather than naturally unfolding, I think.
BETH IT IS SO GOOD. SO GOOD. I LAUGHED SO HARD. AND SQUEALED. AND CLAPPED MY HANDS. AND READ LONG PASSAGES ALOUD TO WHOEVER HAPPENED TO BE IN THE ROOM WITH ME. :D :D
