Funny I should choose this in the second half of the read-a-thon. Ha! can barely laugh. Feeling tired. (yawn)
OK, snapping out of it. snap-snap. On to the review...
Banana's stories always have this charming surrealistic feel to them. This novella is no different. I love her style. Thus, I was not disappointed.
This tale dealt with love and death. A gentle sadness is felt throughout the story but by the end the characters start to heal.
An amusing bit about the narrator is that she goes on a shopping spree. She is a woman after my own heart. She blows her wad on books and cds!

We're coming up on the final quarter! You've done great so far-see it through to the end! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteJust coming by to say you can do it! I'm calling it a night.
ReplyDeleteHm, if I went on a shopping I'd be buying books and shoes.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I upgraded Mr. Linky, and it's *supposed* to send me e-mails whenever someone adds something to the linky...but well, it's still Mr. Linky. My point is, I would have commented on this sooner if it had worked. My Google reader is still totally overwhelmed after the 'Thon (and frankly so am I). ;)
