Someone on my flist posted a "review" of Mike and Psmith today that I thought was pretty hilarious, so I thought I'd share:

Just how much of this book is about cricket anyway?!

I really liked reading all of the reactions, and think it's kind of funny that even though none of us picked a really "typical" school story to read, there were still a few common themes, like the one tarigwaemir and tryogeru mentioned, about learning about yourself in University, but only really becoming yourself afterward. This was also a theme in the two books I read for this month. And, well, I can relate!

I actually read it, and it's not so bad? Though I admit I didn't read the version which talks about Mike before he meets Psmith. Meg is correct though: Psmith really is like fanon!Draco.

And here I go to start systematically commenting on all the posts! ^_^

Oh, when you get a chance, could you add jaebi_lit's review to the list? Thanks!
