I knew you had website, I just never actually found it before. Think I’ll be here a lot. I’ve been so excited since you said you were doing this. I know my friend has been asking for a while, and I always agreed with him that you should. Who knows, maybe you can convince me to like the book, I only made it about halfway through. Literally no body was likeable and I was rooting for the shark.
Thank you so much for listening! It’s rare that anyone comments over here, and I’m glad to be able to give you and your friend what you’ve been wanting. I hope you’re enjoying it! As for the book? Yeah, after halfway…they don’t get more likable. Many thanks again for listening, and dropping your comment here. ~Paul
