Recently finished Fried Green Tomatoes and the Whistle Stop Cafe and The Curious Case of the Dog in the Night-Time!!

How did you like The Curious Case of the Dog in the Night-Time. I quite liked it when I read it a few years ago for high school.

I was worried I wasn't going to like the book. It seems like its a love or it or hate. But I really enjoyed it. I think those who didn't like it only scratched the surface.

Yay! Glad you liked it. It's a great book. :D
