Of COURSE there's no power in Long Island. Of course.

Looks like it's staying at home for me today. Well, more sleep that way.

Hmmm, well, let's see...

In short, it's about two 16 year old boys in Ireland (1915-1916) who fall in love. In long, it would take too long to explain the sheer beauty and genius of this book. It's heartwrenching, heartbreaking, gorgeous, uplifting, hopeful, draining, hilarious, beautiful...everything. It's the best book I'd ever read.

So, there you are: 'At Swim, Two Boys' in a nutshell.

Hi- It's me, the same anonymous person- I tried to sign up but apparently you have to have an activation sent by a friend. And other than you guys, I don't know anyone who uses LiveJournal.

Anyway, based on your review, I'm going to order this book. I've actually picked it up from the shelf before, just didn't know it sounded so good! Which is shocking, because I've worked in a bookstore for about 3 years now, and you'd think *someone* would have read it. But anyway, thanks for your review.

Cheers,
The Reading Girl.
