Now that I've read this book, you may as
well not bother trying to read my book
reviews; yes, that's right, I will now
be examining themes and motifs and
character motivation and other things
like that and I'll probably be writing
such amazing stuff that no one else
will be able to understand me. Like a
professor, right? No, my days of
“Uh, I liked it” or “Well, I don't know”
are over; I'll be finding things like
water imagery and mother archetypes
and references to obscure lines from
Ulysses. So if you want to try to
understand even a glimmer of what
I'm writing about, you may need to
read this book, too. ;->
