Hi, I wish I remembered where I got it, but I don't. However, most likely it was bought in London some years ago.

Hi,

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked When I was Five I Killed Myself, and thought you might like my novel since it's also about a disturbed adolescent and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

I read your abbreviated review of "Me Talk Pretty One Day," and couldn't agree more. It was a selection for my book club, so I began to read it with every expectation of finishing it and found - after a very few pages - that I simply couldn't stand it anymore. I found it to be pompous, condescending and self-absorbed. I believe it is very much like "The Emperor's New Clothes" to many of the reviewers.
