I just finished a book that I knew wouldn't conclude nicely by about 70% of the way through, but by then I had to finish it. *sigh* Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101126112369382176.post-73740686451119778472017-04-19T10:05:04.830-07:002017-04-19T10:05:04.830-07:00I totally agree about the trilogy thing.

The writer knows how to draw me in (which is easier, I think), but doesn't know how to end on a good note--or in a way that makes you think.<br />Of course, this is something I need to work on as well!Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139361928785566916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101126112369382176.post-55430080297628366262017-04-19T10:01:23.239-07:002017-04-19T10:01:23.239-07:00I haven't read her earlier work, but I will ha...I haven't read her earlier work, but I will have to check it out, especially after what you said here.<br />I'm glad this one is on your list, Joanne!Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139361928785566916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101126112369382176.post-15417532024256236872017-04-19T10:00:25.869-07:002017-04-19T10:00:25.869-07:00Thank you, Rosi!Yes, this was very refreshing.

I know the writer did that partly because autism didn't exist as a diagnosis in that time period, but I hope books like this will counter the a lot of the stereotypes about autism.Thanks for stopping by!Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139361928785566916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101126112369382176.post-84116177763133692822017-04-17T21:06:22.804-07:002017-04-17T21:06:22.804-07:00Your PIE looks delicious!

I love books that have a child with a problem or disability that is not the focus. It's rare and a wonderful thing. I will definitely be reading this book. Thanks for the review.

And endings are hard, especially at the end of a trilogy, where many are not satisfying endings.
