Chapters Three and Four

Hi, this is Gary.

I like this book. Saul is an excellent writer. His observations of life are amazing at times. He has got to be one of the greatest contemporary writers but I still would not put him in a class with Dickens or Hardy, the greatest of classical writers.

I can understand why Kacie really liked this book and Saul. His wit is sharp and his mastery of the English language is incredible. His humor is outrageous.

I found a little gem on page 184 about two thirds of the way down the page. It reads " And in every breast there's a glacier that has to be melted, otherwise love can't circulate." Who would have ever described love as circulating? Only Saul and Kacie. If you read Kacie's poem entitled "Love" there is a line that refers to love circulating in the blood. Could Kacie have borrowed this thought from Saul? Interesting............

Great writers can think thoughts that have never entered most of our heads. By conveying their thoughts to us we are able to go to places mentally that we've never been to before. They stretch our imaginations and change our view of life. This guy has that rare gift.

It took about three chapters for him to win me over and I plan to read more if not all of his books.

I bet that this book will have a great ending.
