But the best thing about Endangered, to me, was that the focus was primarily on relationships, specifically the relationship between the main character and a bonobo. Their plight and the plight of the Congo were certainly important, but this book wasn't all about pushing that message forward.<br /><br />Ditto on the not-having-read-Graceling thing.<br />GillyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03622344092774777709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-31370313238047190602012-12-16T13:46:10.416-05:002012-12-16T13:46:10.416-05:00ALERT: the Graceling read is scheduled.

I try to avoid so-called "issues" books because I'm an extremely contrary person, and they usually backfire (environmental films leave me with an intense desire to scowl at trees and strangle vegetables), but the amount of good reviews I've seen for this has won me over.<br /><br />Also: Yes! Someone else who hasn't read Graceling yet.

And Unspoken because you talked about it. <br /><br />I'm absolutely with you on "keeping your claws sharp" because that is just oh-so much fun. <br /><br />The whale story = epic <br /><br />Your blogger halo must be BLINDING right now because you seriously made my day AGAIN.
