This week at Kirkus...

...as some of you suspected, yes indeedy: I threw myself on John Grisham's latest literary grenade and read Theodore Boone: The Abduction.

I'll post some additional gripes about it later, but for now, I'm still recovering.

Brava. You deserve a stiff drink and a nice (unspoiled) dog.

[Doret]

Did you lose a game of paper, rock, scissors?

Judge (the dog) doesn't ever eat dog food -- he only eats people food. So they order extra Chinese food for him, and when they have pancakes, he gets a plate of them (with some sausage links on the side).

I don't remember whether or not he gets syrup and butter.

@Doret: I'm just a masochist.

It sounds not just searingly awful, but actually enraging. Ick.

By the last quarter, I was so very, very angry that I had to put it down every few pages and do some deep breathing.

And also rant to Josh.

And I know I wasn't just over-reacting, because he was horrified by some of the quotes I threw his way.

We want quotes! We want quotes! Of the aforementioned horrifying and rant-inducing nature, naturally. :)
