Almost every chapter has such a strong ending that you really have no choice but to keep reading.Jennifer AlLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18178922554247015759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-43449044559481907572010-08-28T14:27:31.300-04:002010-08-28T14:27:31.300-04:00Hi Jen and Dina!

But something in your review, Jen, reminds me of Watership Down and how it stayed with me for so long after I'd read it.<br />So... I'll keep this series in mind.Debra E.

I've heard of The Colony, but never watched it (we only have basic basic cable... 15 whole channels) While I'm a person who loves pop culture, I have to confess I find it distressing how the entertainment industry seems to have become the controlling factor in our country. I've seen some political ads that don't say much about the candidates, but they tweak your emotionsJennifer AlLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18178922554247015759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-4064350004298647162010-08-28T09:33:41.633-04:002010-08-28T09:33:41.633-04:00My son watches some reality show that seems like a...My son watches some reality show that seems like a fake version of this.
