Footnote #1 is possibly the best ever.

Also, I totally agree with you on footnote #2, possibly because of moral accounting (http://www.lang.osaka-u.ac.jp/~sugimoto/MasterMetaphorList/metaphors/Moral_Accounting.html), but since it isn't *his* story we have no idea of whether there is moral reckoning happening or not.

Re: Footnote #1 - Props on trying to get a proper random sample. But yeah, that's the kind of question that Institutional Review Boards might look askance at.

I read "Nine Goblins", "Bryony and Roses", and this, one after another in a very short time frame. I'm sad that "The Ninth Bride" isn't on kobo.

Footnote #1 is the best thing I've read all day.

I see where you got all of your thoughts in this review, and at the same time I look at it and say, "Wow, I feel like I read a different book than you did." Reader response is fascinating.

(My review would include quite a lot more of the Robber Girl.)
