Efren is a very scary character. It's sad that there's probably many people like him walking around. The Virgin Mary story was absolutely amazing! I loved it.

I'm a California native so that aspect will resonate with me and will feel familiar to me since I've grown up in an area with a large Hispanic immigrant population.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739982274914536036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-78003104052757284822011-04-07T12:29:30.779-04:002011-04-07T12:29:30.779-04:00I've seen this in the book stores, but haven&#...I've seen this in the book stores, but haven't bought it yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-33039816767866595282011-04-07T09:00:02.462-04:002011-04-07T09:00:02.462-04:00Sounds like a good book to get back on the reading...Sounds like a good book to get back on the reading habit/binge after a hiatus. Somewhat "important" and moving but a very quick read.<br /><br />Skyhorse. I wonder how a name like that affects an author's career. Catchy, but it sounds Native American mystical to ignorant somewhat- Americanized-by-way-of-Hollywood me.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207553087219099820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-64287667611182232692011-04-07T08:07:31.808-04:002011-04-07T08:07:31.808-04:00You know, there has been much coverage on the blog...You know, there has been much coverage on the blogs of books that are described as short story collections that link together a central story, but I have yet to read any of them. Back a few months ago, I bought Olive Kitteridge, but I still haven't given it a go. It sounds like I would really like this book, and I might have to check it out. It seems like there is a lot here to interest me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it with us.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-2726759368064850802011-04-07T07:49:40.237-04:002011-04-07T07:49:40.237-04:00I liked this one more than you did.
