I loved Breathing Water. It is intense, an you are right that it needs to be read with a lot of attention paid to the details, but I thought it was masterfully done.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-21371467103040811072010-04-30T18:28:04.436-05:002010-04-30T18:28:04.436-05:00That's pretty much the way it was, Alyson.

I haven't read it, but I've certainly read, or started to read, books that were difficult to absorb. Sometimes though, when forcing myself to keep reading a book, I eventually become acclimated to the subject(s) and end up really liking it. It just depends.<br /><br />I love how you said,'the next book I need is one on getting yourself out of a straightjacket'! When you find that one, Helen, please send me a link! lolAlyson Reubenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233804636662093697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-9493529428550664452010-04-30T16:10:46.777-05:002010-04-30T16:10:46.777-05:00Hi, Helen, and thanks --
