so, all in all rather commendable, you think. but, did it leave you in deep thought? were tragedy and comedy there in force? was this a gem among standard fare? and did it provide any compelling glimpses into anything to do with self-realization? I mean, jeez, enquiring minds want to know . . . totally.

jeez. how hoity toity can you get? Like it's wrong to read for pleasure, and because you like the story and the characters.

Not having had a sufficient number of margaritas for self-realization or even deep thought (probably for the best) you'll have to settle for it WEAVING A STORY OF MYSTIC AND ADVENTURE and CARRYING AN UNDERLYING MESSAGE TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION on how to FACE OUR INNER AND OUTER BATTLES FOR ACCEPTANCE AMONG THOSE AROUND US and AS SUCH, IT'S SUCCESSFUL IN CONVEYING ACROSS MORAL STANDS AND VALUES WHILE AT THE SAME TIME BEING AN ENJOYABLE READ THAT IS BOUND TO THRILL ITS READERS. So there.
