But, it still wasn't my thing. <BR/><BR/>So-so reviews are difficult, I agree. My objective is always to try to give a balanced review, but I sometimes do end up veering toward focusing on the negative, in spite of trying to mention both the pros and cons. <BR/><BR/>Ladytink,<BR/><BR/>I hope you signed up to try to win my copy, then. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-77339325202526230302008-10-13T15:57:00.000-05:002008-10-13T15:57:00.000-05:00This does sound awesome lol!This does sound awesome lol!Ladytink_534https://www.blogger.com/profile/14317480621483829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-50363486220558407132008-10-13T15:14:00.001-05:002008-10-13T15:14:00.001-05:00Carrie,Apparently, Don Juan may or may not have be...Carrie,<BR/><BR/>Apparently, Don Juan may or may not have been real.
