I don't think it's been close to me yet. There are craft things I like about Little children, but I wasn't drawn into it like I like to be. I really felt like I was reading a man writing a woman rather than just getting into the character. But what do I know. It's a national best seller. I guess I didn't like all the different pov's. again, I realize I'm being critical of a book that is wonderful in many ways...kind of like being critical of the top five Olympian figure skaters. They're all good, but some are just a smidge better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-16240341402510369762007-01-29T17:19:00.000-05:002007-01-29T17:19:00.000-05:00I hadn't heard anything about Water when it caught...I hadn't heard anything about Water when it caught my eye in the foreign films section of my local Blockbusters (it's not a real Blockbusters mind you... copyright and brand infringement laws seem to lose their effect somewhere in the Caribbean sea). I watched it three times that weekend. That's how good it was. Then I blogged about it. So the director is Canadian? Too cool! I kind of remember seeing something Canadian in the credits now that you mention it...<br /><br />And I'm totally with you on Little Miss Sunshine - it was one of the more memorable movies I've seen this year, and one I'd see again.Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03276662980308718870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-87221436232390421952007-01-28T16:23:00.000-05:002007-01-28T16:23:00.000-05:00I know it's a long shot, but I've got my fingers c...I know it's a long shot, but I've got my fingers crossed for LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE anyhow.
