Review of : Just a Couple of Days

A Linguistic River of Enjoyment

This is a novel that just filled me with joy as I danced along with the linguistic celebration that is this book.

Story aside, haranguing excused, this is one of those books that makes me want to write books; a book that brought back the joy of carrying a dictionary along wherever it went; a book that had me gleefully rolling each word onto the next through my mind's tongue, blissfully sailing along on the poetic coaster the author has fashioned out of his use of language.

The tale is definitely a gripping one as well, but the joy for me was in it's tapestry.  I feel this book could have been about anything, and I would have been filled with the same elation just for the opportunity to have read it.
