My son likes me to read it, but I don't really like reading it out loud at all. There are too many extraneous words. (Says someone who writes comments with too many extraneous words). Whenever he wants to read it I have to keep from groaning, and then I sometimes end up skipping lines (I skim right over the realistic parts at the beginning and end). Eh. Sorry to be a spoil-sport. But no other Pittsburgh librarians had chimed in, yet.
