But they filled out the story nicely. Jenny - That's funny that everyone is mentioning the weight. It was noticeably heavier than every other one of my similarly-sized library books though. Did you find it to be heavy? Suey - That's so harsh! It could be years before you could get your hands on certain books. I hope the other library perks outweigh that non-perk. Jenny - I didn't find the ending to be a letdown, but I did think it was a little bit convenient. And I agree that the beginning was stronger. I wish it had had a bit more of Min's friends in it. Emily - I hope your library gets a copy soon. My library is very very small, and I'm pleased that they got it so quickly. Kathy – I didn’t expect the illustrations either.

This went on the top of my TBR list as soon as I heard about it and now I'm waiting very impatiently for my library to get a copy. Glad to hear you liked it. Oh!

It seemed like it was going in such a good direction, and then the ending was a huge letdown. Hrmph.

We'll see if I ever get a chance to read it. (As an employee I get bumped to the bottom of the hold list, so the only time I'd get is if there is no one at all behind me! This is a NON library perk!)
