Tara and I braved the attic this weekend and pulled down six boxes of books that have been up there for about eight years.

Sending to Caligula03.

Quozl is at least 100 pages too long. The plot doesn't really start until page 100. This first hundred drags along as combination of hippies in space and Watership Down. There are pages and pages and pages and pages of idiotic descriptions of their sandles, their earings, their grooming habbits, to the point of mind numbing boredom.

So future readers, just skip to page 101. Once Runs-red-Talking meets Chad the story finally picks up but it's no where as interesting or compelling as Foster's much shorter and better written Nor Crystal Tears (which I highly recommend).

As soon as I finish this book it will be sent to livelywriter for her new OBCZ. I"m finding this book quite humerous.

Caught the book (and first became introduced to bookcrossing.com) while walking through the student center of Virginia Wesleyan.

I found the book start out very slow. It eventually settled into a pleasant pace, but unfortunately ended in a very hurried fashion. While I do believe that not every book has to make a political statement, Quozl had me wondering throughout the first half what Foster was trying to say. Just when I thought I finally understood, the ending again left me confused. I was also perplexed as to what the intended audience for this book was. While much of the books content seemed to be geared towards teens, the topic of sex was emphasized to the point of severe redundancy.

The writer's style I found to be enjoyable, and will probably read other books he has written to see if he paces himself any better. Foster seems to "think outside the box" and have a good imagination. Anyone with those qualities deserves a second chance read.

I plan to drop this book of in a public place such as an airport.

CAUGHT IN VIRGINIA WESLEYAN CAMPUS, VIRGINIA BEACH VIRGINIA USA
