What a great book review you have done and now with all these letter writers posting here I feel like I’ve found a lot of kindred spirits.

Thanks for such a great site!

But the letter writers would have to be interesting and creative to make the thing work otherwise it’s just another soap opera. if you do watch it again, please report back :)
