I find ...I think Book V – Heather, was fantastic! <br /><br />I find it interesting that you say that "at first" you couldn't stand Mark. It's apparent in your wording that you never got past the initial, deliberate portrayal of his character. Just as Heather grew in leaps and bounds in different areas of her life, so did Mark. He went from being egotistical and your stereotypical male, to someone who realized that there was more to life. As he grew more and more fond of Heather, witnessed the relationships of his brother and his father; he realized he needed and <i>wanted</i> to change – for Heather – but more importantly, for himself.<br /><br />I think it's a wonderful testament to how people can and <i>do</i> changeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04855818112935929377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6069851667021476068.post-31515873930888144332010-03-18T09:19:26.472-04:002010-03-18T09:19:26.472-04:00Thanks, Morgan!
Interesting that you liked Mark le...Thanks, Morgan!<br />Interesting that you liked Mark less in the second half. I'd presented him as a little bit shallow in the beginning and gradually allowing him more depth as the story prgressed. He grew out of his shallowness as he realized he truly cared for Heather and finally forgave his mother.<br />Neither character was my favorite! But ironically, this is the best reviewed book of the series, so they resonated with a lot of other people.L. Diane Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425864276166334896noreply@blogger.com
