Your opinions are spot on. I totally agree with the Sam's age question. I definitely would agree that his character development is lacking. I do think his father was actually friends with Conrad, so he would be more in Gracie's age range, but that information is assimilated through short comments not in depth description. <br /><br />Great question about the secret room . . . Maybe you should be writing this blog:) I would put pictures in mine. I just can't get enough, and I would love to have an organized place where I could hang as many as I wanted on the wall. <br /><br />Love you too, Laurie.

Dating someone your father's age is almost as uncomfortable as not living with your wife. But now, it sounds like he's much younger due to the references of being Conrad's "son he never had." Did I miss somewhere in the earlier chapters where they mentioned age? (Maybe this question supports your con regarding lack of character development.) <br /><br />As I was reading chapter 6, I got so excited around the prelude of what was in the special room. I forced myself not to skip the paragraph and read what was inside before finishing the lead-up. (I am often so bad about doing that. Patience is not my best virtue.) Anyway, while sort of a waste on me, I think the baseball room is considerate. This led me to wonder... what would be in my special room. The first thing that came to mind... the Crown Jewels. What can I say, diamonds are a girl's best friend. :o)<br /><br />I am enjoying the book so far, but I want more time with Harriet and her crazy dog!<br /><br />Oh, and I think three chapters is the perfect number. Thanks for posting, Lou - love you!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861638792292454197noreply@blogger.com
