Ha, ha...<i>I'm thinking bugs and crocodiles"</i><br /><br />Ha, ha! Alligators, actually. And bugs, for sure. I'll have to look into picking this up. I love Florida settings right up there with Los Angeles settings.<br /><br />Night owl? I guess so, especially since I'm in a more eastern time zone than yours in California! I hadn't realized it had already got that late. :)<br /><br />Sounds like a good review to me! I'll sometimes analyze things into the ground, which can get me in trouble with the plot-spoiler-avoidant, and you're definitely not doing that.<br /><br />And, Chris, your reviewettes are harder than they look! I'm afraid I just don't have the touch. It's an art.Average Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955137026396047753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292268190612225124.post-90380725367298590582010-04-25T13:17:17.780-07:002010-04-25T13:17:17.780-07:00I do know what you mean. :) Yet another reason I w...I do know what you mean. :) Yet another reason I write reviewettes rather than reviews!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292268190612225124.post-8137900586911156672010-04-25T12:52:19.303-07:002010-04-25T12:52:19.303-07:00I feel I need to qualify.

I try my hand at reviewing and discussing poetry. More an exercise in blogging than anything.<br /><br />I know Amber. As in, we talk. Not as in I know her on an intimate or we-go-to-coffee-level. This book was just launched and I felt it hadn't the trajectory you'd expect from one of her books, so I blogged it.<br /><br />Have I disclaimed sufficiently? Too much? <br /><br />Generally, I leave reviewing to those who know how to do it well.AM Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850171221719212612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292268190612225124.post-5869398430293748872010-04-25T10:50:10.464-07:002010-04-25T10:50:10.464-07:00Hmm, I haven't even heard of her! *heads off t...Hmm, I haven't even heard of her! *heads off to investigate*Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292268190612225124.post-53225231687418144442010-04-24T22:35:52.737-07:002010-04-24T22:35:52.737-07:00Yes, Florida.

I don't know Florida very well (I'm thinking bugs and crocodiles mostly?) so I enjoyed those little touches. <br /><br />You are up late!
