Nannie’s Comments (group member since Mar 30, 2011)

Nannie’s comments from the Cafe Libri group.

I've finished the audio version and will try to post as I see other comments. Not really the type of story I enjoy but Bradbury's way with words was very striking...poetic and lyrical.
The audio version I had included a short story "Sound of Thunder" by Bradbury on the final CD and I liked that better than the main novel. I just found it in text format at this site if anyone is interested: http://www.lasalle.edu/~didio/courses...

Adri, as to the religious topics in this book, just the feelings expressed by one of the characters...I found the comments and thoughts expressed to be valid and good for the story line (one character does not accept the compliance with the church doctrine that the other character finds helpful and comforting). But some might find the criticisms hard to accept. Frankly it's been a few weeks since I read the book so I can't be very specific due to my short term memory weakness:) Nothing earth shaking, really, but if taken out of context, some might jump to the wrong conclusions. Then again, maybe no one will even comment. We'll see:)

I've noticed your absence and missed your post. Glad you will have more time now, even if you don't read what the group is reading. Have a great summer.

I got into it last night and just couldn't stop. The main characters were born 1 year after me so it's really like time travel for me to read it. Plus I Love, Love, Love short chapters/letters/journal entries, etc. Makes it so easy to pick up and just read for a short spell..except my short spell turned into hours last night...I think it was 2 am:) Hope you enjoy it. Parts of it might stimulate some rather heated religion discussions in the Yahoo group...hope everyone keeps their cool:)

I totally agree with your comments, Catherine.

I'm part way through The Women and it's a great read.:)
