It's a really fun and sweet book. :)

Yes! I loved this book!

It seems universal, the reaction to this book, doesn't it? :)

[shel99]

Kind of hard not to love :) I mean, it's got Flip! And sheep!

[calico_reaction]

Holy crap, Flip.... I would have a stroke working for someone like her!

Look no further than John Scalzi. I'm certain he's responsible. :)

The sheep were quite amusing. I loved how the bellwether figured out how to open the gate. :)

I haven't read this one in YEARS, but I loved it, enough so that it's one I hold onto with the aim of reading it again.

In fact, I may have to read it again very soon.

Which Willis book would you recommend for me to read next? (This is the only one I've read.)

[calico_reaction]

If you want more of Willis' comic, light tone, then I highly recommend To Say Nothing of the Dog. It's part of her time-traveling historian world, and it's quite fun.

If you want to get her more serious, tragical side, my first Willis was Doomsday Book and it floored me. Another time-traveling historian novel. Don't worry, no need to read any of those books in order.

There's also Passage, which is a stand-alone and another one of her more serious works.

I would, however, recommend holding off on Blackout and All Clear until you've read more of her work. Particularly the two time-travel ones I mentioned. :)
