I put Critical Mass on my library reserve, and I breathlessly await getting my hands on it and reading it.<br />Now, this is an event I wish I had attended. Sara Paretsky is one of my favorite authors and has been since V.I. Warshawski first entered the world of private eyes. There is not a book I haven't enjoyed, and often learn something from reading it. Yet, V.I. entertains me and I enjoy her sense of humor.<br />On top of this, I lived in Chicago during my elementary school years, and look back fondly on that city.<br />I just can't wait to tear into this book, and enjoy it. This, despite WWII being my least desirable period for novels. But, if Sara Paretsky had to go through what she did in Vienna, I'll patiently read the book.<br />I share the perilous situation of her grandparents with her. Mine fled czarist anti-Semitic pogroms in 1907.<br />I so wish I had been at Poisoned Pen to hear her, but thank you so much for your thorough and delightful review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-53346181234671006792013-11-11T15:48:58.710-07:002013-11-11T15:48:58.710-07:00I've been hearing that from a lot of people, B...I've been hearing that from a lot of people, Bella.
