35. I think it would have been better if it were only 300 pages!

Seriously, at around page 300 I was considering not finishing it. But, in the end I'm glad I finished it.

I think that The Doomsday Book is probably her best book. But, I won't read it again! Too devastating.

My favorite is Black Out/All Clear which I read twice. The second time right after finishing it the first time!
I'm just an old softie, it makes me tear up just thinking about BO/AC.

In my favorite review of this book, a reader said that halfway through All Clear she had to switch from regular kleenex to the moisturizing kind, she was crying so much!
