I had no idea he wrote two drafts for that book or that he did it in such a short time. cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-50546689480363235702015-07-02T15:00:27.406-05:002015-07-02T15:00:27.406-05:00We read Stevenson's adventure books as childre...We read Stevenson's adventure books as children. He was such a writer. And to hear that he wrote this book by pen and ink?

But leaving the reader rejoicing, that can happen even if (and sometimes especially) the hero struggles greatly but overcomes. It's the stories that leave you in the muck at the end of the struggle (in the name of realism) that are truly dispiriting.Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-74771047511893509332015-07-01T10:02:18.762-05:002015-07-01T10:02:18.762-05:00He's so right.

As for Stevenson, I'm afraid I tend to avoid the classics in favor of the quick, easy prose of today's writers. I should branch out though. I'm sure I'm missing some incredible writing.Tamara Narayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03725262301091012950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-13517077539457018532015-07-01T08:04:24.276-05:002015-07-01T08:04:24.276-05:00Find the joy - I love that, too.Find the joy - I love that, too.L.
