I had that same feeling--and I also had that with Ireland as well. But Delaney's writing is simply wonderful. I read much of Ireland aloud to my husband on car trips and it really brought the magic of the story to life. <br /><br />Not sure if you know this, but during a very brief twitter exchange with Delaney, I learned that there will be a stand alone sequel to this one!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-17066033021840158292010-07-04T14:14:18.757-07:002010-07-04T14:14:18.757-07:00no need to enter me - I have already read the book...no need to enter me - I have already read the book.<br /><br />I really enjoyed it too - I agree the art of storytelling is well represented by Frank Delaney.
