He packs an eloquent punch into short books.<br /><br />After you've finished the Homes collection, I suggest the End of Alice, as long as you have a strong stomach!Luluhttp://www.robotwitch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25675853.post-91125066549299358862014-01-03T18:22:21.742+00:002014-01-03T18:22:21.742+00:00Hah.

The more you think about it, the more you realize the many flaws of the book (and not just an awkward, not-particularly-believable romance...).
