That was one that really stuck out at me from this book as well. =)<BR/><BR/>I agree that it was an enjoyable read but like you felt that it only scratched the surface of things.

That and the router gave out completely yesterday and so hubby and I made a quick trip to the electronics store last night to replace it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment!<BR/><BR/>Jaimie - I just realized that I didn't even mention any of the films that touched the author's life. We'll just pretend I did that on purpose so as not to spoil anything. :-)<BR/><BR/>Florinda - I think you would like it too. Are you going to see Indy this weekend or will you wait for the mad rush to die down?<BR/><BR/>Nymeth - It seems only fair. ;-) I am reciprocating!<BR/><BR/>Melody - The author did a very good job of reminding the reader of that in his book. I think it's very true!<BR/><BR/>Heather - It was a fun book. It was so easy to relate to!<BR/><BR/>Trish - Oh neat! My husband has saved all of his movie stubs over the years. I'm not sure he has them from that far back.<BR/><BR/>Mrs. S - I tried to see if Redemption High had made it to the internet for a sample viewing, but I wasn't able to find an episode or even a little glimpse of it other than the credit information. <BR/><BR/>Bybee - I hope you two will give it a try!<BR/><BR/>Kathleen - Thanks so much! I need to update my links. I hope you will enjoy Admit One! I look forward to reading what you think of it.<BR/><BR/>Carrie K - Exactly! Haha <BR/><BR/>Dancin' Fool - Thank you!

As I thumbed through them I could remember every experience...don't remember my first movie in the theatre, though. My mom remembers fondly of seeing Indiana Jones while I was kicking away in her tummy (maybe not fondly, but vividly). :) Sounds like a good read!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-83850836923702571472008-05-21T17:53:00.000-07:002008-05-21T17:53:00.000-07:00I really enjoyed the tales in this one... it defin...I really enjoyed the tales in this one... it definitely tickled my funny bone!
