Hey Sheila, thanks so much -- Tad's review is rich and rollicking and wild
and I deeply appreciate it. Am also fascinated by how much its take varies
from Maureen Thorson's, which almost seems to be about a different book.
That's what's lovely about reviews and why I often think it would be fun for
authors to review their reviews, if not their reviewers.
That would be a hoot and a half, but it might also get us guillotined.
