Maybe it takes a certain amount of weirdness . . . ********** <strong>It most certainly is different.

It most certainly is different. I’ll finish this book but doubt I’ll be reading the others in the series.

I'm now up to chapter 24 and moving right along. I'll probably finish it tonight or tomorrow.</strong> I’m sorry you’re not enjoying it.
