I just haven't hit upon the right idea yet! <BR/><BR/>I just finished THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN, which was a dog POV book, and it was beautifully done. The dog believed in reincarnation, sigh, but still, I cried buckets.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15745389922246602752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-42365784580610704582008-08-22T10:45:00.000-04:002008-08-22T10:45:00.000-04:00Whatever you're doing, works, so please don't chan...Whatever you're doing, works, so please don't change!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you added, "if the writing is well done."

In fact I think that was the first book of yours I ever read, which started me down the path of catching up and reading everything you've written.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454841194149956666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-33988989301386458302008-08-21T12:10:00.000-04:002008-08-21T12:10:00.000-04:00Couldn't agree more.

I think you do just fine, Angie, without that type of outside input. And, of course, the end of the story about "Unspoken" is that it was a tremendously moving tale!
