Apologies to all you authors out there working hard to rectify this situation - I'm sure you know all too well what I mean.<br /><br />I just finished reading "Best Forgotten", and I'd started out intending to read it with a proofreader's eye to supply Paula with feedback, but quickly got ensnared by the gripping storytelling. After that, it was a bit of a pageturner, and I love the pace of the book: there's always something else just about to be revealed. The characters are real and lifelike, and, most vitally, I was [i]interested[/i] in them.<br /><br />The Christian elements to the story didn't feel like they were shoehorned in to tick a "genre" box, and the novel was entertaining as a story while reminding us of the constant, sometimes deviously interventionist love of the Father.<br /><br />Thanks for the great read, Paula. I'd be enormously proud to have written a story so entertaining, and with such readable style. I'm keen for your next one now!Tristan Badgernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-6549141754532483022011-04-23T15:56:01.071-07:002011-04-23T15:56:01.071-07:00Enter me in contest.
