I think most good writers are that way

What bugged me the most concerning her philosophy was the focus on an individual success despite true happiness being a feeling of acceptance. Its like opting for constant ego stroking alone in your room instead of associating with others and sharing the love na' mean?

As i said though, the writing itself was pretty good. Very nice characterization... you havr yo get past the first 200 pages though, but after that its good
