lol, hey tori
Its nice hearing the viewpoint of someone who enjoyed book 2 because they could relate to it and connect to it. Putting myself in your shoes does help me better understand how ivan and the elder are feeling and explain why they are acting the way they are. What you said made me change the way i read the book. I kind of changed "christianity" with "My Religion" and it helps. Thanks for your comment, hopefully it will help make the remainder of this LONG book easier to read.
Btw - hope your enjoying your summer!!!
