As I said to Celeste it's not a must and I would hate people to feel put off, but I think it would be fun for those of us who enjoy such a challenge. I'll probably do quick comments sometimes, nothing sometimes, and a longer one other times. Have just finished Joan London's The good parents, and am now reading Susan Duncan's Salvation Creek.Sue Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11128625746717614768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500590946775347522.post-737939465576263482009-01-04T21:42:00.000+11:002009-01-04T21:42:00.000+11:00Hi SueThe review looks great, and the plot summary...Hi Sue<BR/>The review looks great, and the plot summary and context really makes a difference to my appreciation of your comments.<BR/>I especially liked your comment on the language, and on the layers of meaning in the book.<BR/>I must have a go at a review of my own soon....Katekatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366736174044484040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500590946775347522.post-42599299601586471582008-12-30T10:26:00.000+11:002008-12-30T10:26:00.000+11:00Oh and Kate, I have added a little description of ...Oh and Kate, I have added a little description of what the book is about in the second para.

I think we should be free and easy. Five word reviews or just quick off the cuff comments or anything in between are fine too.
