Comments on: Mallory Pike, #1 Fan: The Worst Advice Hemingway Ever Gave http://blog.stoneybrookite.org/2008/04/30/mallory-pike-1-fan-the-worst-advice-hemingway-ever-gave/ the best friends you'll never have Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:38:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Rhiannon http://blog.stoneybrookite.org/2008/04/30/mallory-pike-1-fan-the-worst-advice-hemingway-ever-gave/#comment-2906 Rhiannon Fri, 09 May 2008 00:05:12 +0000 http://blog.stoneybrookite.org/2008/04/30/mallory-pike-1-fan-the-worst-advice-hemingway-ever-gave/#comment-2906 This was the first book I ever owned, so it holds a great deal of sentimental value for me. And I know how it is to have you visions of reality shattered when one realizes "Its not real." I'm 25 and I was still devistated to learn that Teddy Laurence never existed and was only a figment of LMA's imagination. I should have known, no man is that amazingly hot and awesome in real life *sigh*. But my point is, Mallory is only 11 and I think some readers forget that as she (like the whole club) are written so they seem older. Her stories were about mice and evil snakes trying to eat them. Talking mice are fiction, but its not a suprise for her to believe that good stories must be based on truth, how can one write of complete happiness or passion if they never felt it? Can I kiss you for liking this book to and justifying my loyality? This was the first book I ever owned, so it holds a great deal of sentimental value for me.

Mallory was one of my favorites as a child (probably because I wanted to be an author) and I thought this was one of her better books. I really liked this book too greer!
