Hi, I know you've probably heard this before but, this is my first time writing about a book. So, if this isn't how it's done please excuse me. Well, I thought that this book is worth a try from the excerpt because it was interesting. I don't know too much about the book, but that's good otherwise what would be the point of reading it if I already know the story. This doesn't sound like a story I've heard before and that's a welcome change.
Thanks for taking the time to hear my opinion.
Sincerely,
Terry

Well, I have NO idea if I'll like this book. (I can be like that... unsure) From the description that I read, it sounded kinda... not me, to say the least (and most... cuz i can't really explain it.) but, after reading today's little read, or whatever we're calling it, i got a really good vibe. this sounds like a nice book w/ good characters, and kind of interesting.
my only question was: is the guy's name Caiman or Calman? I thought it was Calman, but it said Caiman a few times...

i have only read the first bit of the book but it sounds pretty good so far. i'm not sure if i want to take this out of the library though. maybe i will after i read the rest of the emails this week.

This is an OK book, i suppose... (who the heck says "supposed?") anywho... i can see why Calman would beleive that Rizzy is a guy, I mean... most girls I know DON'T talk, or shall i say write, like that! they'll say that stuff sometimes, i guess, but they would never ever write a letter to someone they didn't know telling them about sitting in the bathroom, avoiding their brothers and sisters, and (ewww!!!) their dog's poop...
i know i wouldn't talk about that stuff to someone i didn't know!!!

I was wondering what the kid's name is too. I think it's Calman though. The book sounds pretty good though. What do you think??

yeah, i think it's Calman. the book is getting better, too. and rizzy... i like that rizzy is the way that she is... ya know? like, it always makes a book more interesting when there's a character in it that's about to spill their guts about everything, including their parents sex lives, to someone that they know absolutely nothing about. it makes it more fun to read, or something...

I have just finished reading the last bit of the 5 minute bits, and I have mixed feelings about the book. On one hand, I have no idea where the story line will go, and it is unlike any other book I have ever read, which is a good thing. But on the other hand I am not sure that I like some of the characters(ex:Calman). I have not yet decided if I am going to take this book out of the library or not, but I will put it on my list of "maybe's"
