I thought the Shakespeare thing would be intimidating for me but I ended up liking it and the fact that I could relate to the sisters not knowing what he was talking about LOL. I look forward to your review of Little Face.

I found the first person plural interesting and really enjoyed it.

When we had the meeting, I had been wondering just how the others would relate to the girls' father spouting off all that Shakespeare, but I really feel like we got to the heart of it, and how it was just so hard for him to communicate with anybody. I am still thinking that there was something wrong with him!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-28343159878924992732011-04-07T08:10:39.851-04:002011-04-07T08:10:39.851-04:00I bet this was good on audio!
