Richardson managed to get his books published because he WAS the printer - one in dire need of an editor. Clarissa in NO WAY NEEDED to be 1500 pages long. <BR/><BR/>On the bright side, though, he writes surprisingly good female characters - in real life, he was the head of an almost entirely female household - with a wife and five daughters.AnimeJunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18229748454410488167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348815.post-85296388136947697142008-10-13T12:29:00.000-06:002008-10-13T12:29:00.000-06:00I love your review - funny and perceptive.

(You can watch it online if you want, by the way - it is VERY interesting)<BR/><BR/>I don't know if I would ever have the courage or the time to read this but I thank you for your very interesting review.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17051732778079285105noreply@blogger.com
