Observer of things
I generally enjoy Allende though I haven't read that particular book.
I read a book by Mercedes Lackey recently just to see what all the fuss is about. Don't. Do. It.
Don't read anything she's published in the past 5-10 years. It's garbage. Her older books, however, are excellent.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. I despise that book, and the author. She has no talent absolutely whatsoever and merely presents an African-American pride sob-story. [Please don't think I'm against African-American pride! I just hate sob-stories. No matter the genre.] She solved no issues. She prevailed over nothing. It wasn't funny or interesting. Merely boring and depressing.
