#Penny for your thoughts update
And what was up in that room full of statues and goat guts? This inquiring mind wants to know!īe prepared to read this rather quickly, as I posted an update last night at 80% and about 2 minutes after that, I knew I was staying up to finish this book. There were a few people and items mentioned that I would have liked to learn more about-namely the Crimson Sisters. Joe was my favorite among the main characters, but I did like the others as well-they were well drawn and felt real to me. (I read that part on my lunch hour and couldn't tell my co-workers what made me laugh so hard I cried.) I DARE people to read about what happened to Kenny without laughing.
Not just for people like me, (I've been told I have a juvenile sense of humor at times), but for anyone. However, I will say that there were portions of this book that were LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY.
I'm not going to delve further into the plot, because it should unfold as the authors intended. It's easy to say you're going to go straight when you get out, but nothing is easy about reestablishing your life, and his character reflects that reality. I think this is part of the reason that I liked Joe so much, he was realistic. It's not long after he gets home that his friend Kenny is trying to talk him into returning to a life of crime and it's hard for Joe to resist. He's off the drugs, he's off the lousy wench of a girlfriend, and he's trying to make things right with his dad. How could a jar do such a thing? You'll have to read this to find out!Įven though Joe is an ex-con, he's a good guy. He's 4.5/5 stars, rounded up due to the laugh factor! Who knew how powerful a jar of pennies could be?įresh out of prison, Joe enjoys walking in the woods of his hometown, (who wouldn't when they had been confined for so long?) A glint of glass beneath the leaves catches his eye, and he doesn't know it yet, but it will change his life forever. How could a jar do such a thing? You'll have to read this to find out!

Harmless.Įxcept as time goes on, Joe realizes they aren't really wishes at all.they're exchanges, and the bill was racking up.Ĥ.5/5 stars, rounded up due to the laugh factor! Who knew how powerful a jar of pennies could be? Fresh out of prison, Joe enjoys walking in the woods of his hometown, (who wouldn't when they had been confined for so long?) A glint of glass beneath the leaves catches his eye, and he doesn't know it yet, but it will change his life forever. When the first few wishes come true, they are simple things. What interests Joe isn't the pennies themselves, but the pieces of paper taped to every coin-a child's handwritten wish on each one. It's an unusual but safe enough treasure-a jar of old pennies. On a hike along the Lowback Trail, Joe stumbles on one of the town's oldest secrets-buried long ago, if not forgotten. He has let go of old habits, especially the ones that turned him into an addict and helped land him in prison.
