" Mostly, the rich are just much more appealing and self-entitled. But in some books, they're easier to love, too. "
— Kaethe, 4/21/2010 -

" Very good story, I hated Cornelius. "
— Mary, 10/12/2007 -
" I read this one first at some point in the eighties and then carried it to our mountain cabin where later I re-read it. When we sold the cabin twenty years later this was one of the books which were donated to charity. I recall it being just okay and not much else. "
