memory keeper's daughter

What can I say about Kim Edwards's Memory Keeper's Daughter? Hm, I saw a poster in a nearby mall that this book was turned into a made for TV movie on Lifetime, which seems fitting. I don't know, it was somewhat interesting in that one of the characters moves to Pittsburgh so I liked reading about the city I live in. Let's see, what else can I say? I noticed at least a dozen typos in the story, who was the copywriter for this book? My Mom and I constantly notice typos; in books, newspapers, and I've even seen them on the local news, once for a story plug they misspelled Pittsburgh!! We should probably become a mother/daughter copywriting superteam, might be a good way to put our perfectionistic tendencies to work. I had to rework my plum rating graphic to make a rank of 2 1/2 plums. I previously said I'd never read anything under 3 plums. In conclusion, I'm glad I took this book out from the library, rather than spent money on it.

This post made me laugh not only the part about the typos but the part about reworking your plum rating.
I admire that you are reading. I was in a book club for a while but, have fallen out of reading anything other then children's books.
