She's great.<br /><br /><b>Jill (Softdrink)</b> - Thanks! You should have seen me scurrying to read this book in time. I wanted to post a book review during BBAW week and thought this would be a good way to go about it.<br /><br /><b>Alice</b> - Thank you, Alice!<br /><br /><b>Jen</b> - That's one full bookshelf! Sounds like you have a lot of reading to do too. :-)<br /><br />I don't think Eleanor Rushing would appeal to everyone. It's one of those books I think a person needs to be in the mood for.<br /><br /><b>Julia</b> - Thank you so much, Julia! I hope you do get a chance to read this one.<br /><br /><b>Regina</b> - I guess you could say she's an anti-hero. :-) She's definitely interesting.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-90716549353590619122009-09-20T10:50:39.936-07:002009-09-20T10:50:39.936-07:00Sandy - Thank you, Sandy.

I hope you will get the chance to read it.<br /><br /><b>Melody</b> - It's definitely different, Melody. If you do read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.<br /><br /><b>Kristie</b> - I could see it as a Lifetime movie. :-) Thank you.<br /><br /><b>Iliana</b> - I don't mind so much either if I don't like a main character. And Eleanor was so interesting that I just had to see what she'd do next.<br /><br /><b>Missy</b> - I'll have to look for Secondhand Smoke, Missy. Thanks for the heads up!<br /><br /><b>Florinda</b> - Thank you very much for sharing the book with me. Reading over your review again after I'd written mine, I noticed just how much our opinions of the book did line up. It may not be a book either one of us particularly loved, but we won't forget Eleanor soon, will we?Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-28605339559854562642009-09-20T05:56:11.445-07:002009-09-20T05:56:11.445-07:00It's not often you come across a main characte...It's not often you come across a main character who is not very likeable.
