My little Mexican Jumping beans are going to town. Have them sitting on the top right of my laptop, just in case I need 'perspective'..
The Fifth Quarter...Uncle Steve comes up with some clever titles..eh?
You lost me there, luv!My little Mexican Jumping beans are going to town. Have them sitting on the top right of my laptop, just in case I need 'perspective'..
Yes-and in Revival he talks about the fifth business (I think). Interesting.
No Worries, I have a little clear plastic box with three beans in it and a 'diamell' earring. They are clicking because I am typing, so they are jumping. Has nothing to do with the story, but is interesting in a weird way to me.
Nice! I didn't put those thoughts together.
Was an interesting story. I could feel the cramping in my legs when he talked about crouching in the (cold) bathtub.
It wasn't one of my favorites, but the last few pages were certainly action packed!
Yes they were. The pace moved quickly to me. Loved the description of Sarge getting into the VW bug; thought that was really funny and could hear the goofy noise the car makes.
It took me quite a few pages to get into it, I think that's more difficult to do when you don't necessarily "like" the character telling the story.
On a side note-I love VWs and have always wanted a VW bus!
Interesting thought. The only gem in the back of the book about this says 'Bachman again or maybe George Stark.' Maybe the George Stark portion of him or Bachman comes out to write or perhaps he writes as a dark guy in a dark world.
If you do get a VW bus, you'll need to make homemade curtains for the windows and have a daisy in it somewhere for good luck.On a side note-I love VWs and have always wanted a VW bus!
