  3. Marce: It's really good. I grew up in the 80s, but really don't consider myself an 80s girl (I much prefer music, books, film, etc from the 70s on back). And I loved this book and all the 80s references.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
