Book Discussion: Magic Kingdom for Sale – Sold! – Terry Brooks
Predictable
Turgid
I like Terry’s Characters, not the story.
Setup was too slow
It was Meh
Eli wait-listed the library version without the ! – This is a ghost book.
Discussion is pretty slow.
Suspension of belief was more involved with the financing methods rather than magic elements.
She liked rhyming magic.
Not very humorous
Money isn’t worth as much today as it was then.
The conversation is splintering, I can’t hear anything anymore,
Now we are discussing Roman Plumbing.
We are not a 501(3c) federal org, we are a non-profit Colorado organization. We just file postcards on-line for tax purposes.
