"Considering the tendency of her characters to start on long speeches and go on, and on, and on, the most important subject of childraising gets dispensed with in a few phrases, and at most one more choice to be made." Oh for goodness sake, get over your faux self-righteous indignation. No author is obligated to spend X number of pages on your favorite topic. As the father of a 2- year-old---whom I endeavor to raise as a critically thinking, discerning human being rather than an overwrought emotional knee-jerk basket case like the rest of the vacant-minded sheep---I recommend you go in search of a novel wherein child raising is central to the plot. Or go write your own damn novel. Sent at: 2008 07 23
