Many were disappointed with the way the father treated Patty and didn't understand why he was so mean to her. We watched the movie when we were all finished. There's a little explanation of dear daddy'e behavior in that version, but it still made the kids mad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772850344563095242.post-54392340516814756062010-10-11T08:54:36.054-07:002010-10-11T08:54:36.054-07:00I think I read it in high school, but I only remem...I think I read it in high school, but I only remember that it felt slow and heavy. It's always good when we can be honest wioth ourselves about what we did or did not like in a story. I think that's a sign of a GOOD writer! :-)Shannon O'Donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299313309059235876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772850344563095242.post-5162925543298402622010-10-11T06:57:56.098-07:002010-10-11T06:57:56.098-07:00Book covers are tough!

I went to a book signing where Lisi Harrison was promoting her latest novel Monster High and she said she was in love with this one in particular because there were no people on the front. She said she never understood images because readers want to relate the front male or female for the protagnist when 9 times out of 10 it isn't even close. <br /><br />People sell is what she said her editor had said so they continued to do it! <br /><br />I haven't read the novel, and honestly I don't think it would ever be one I pick up. Don't worry about picking a new profession, we're not meant to love every book we come across!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772850344563095242.post-14280202776767646172010-10-11T05:27:15.775-07:002010-10-11T05:27:15.775-07:00I think I read this in high school.

The style of writing has changed so it's hard to compare something written 30 years ago with something popular today.Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772850344563095242.post-81983361283942983032010-10-10T22:12:55.437-07:002010-10-10T22:12:55.437-07:00Sounds like this was more a case of bad cover arti...Sounds like this was more a case of bad cover artist and not so great jacket copy than anything. Too bad you didn't like it, but props for reading another contemporary!! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17876772923733290496noreply@blogger.com
