		<description>So fun that you and Jay collaborated on this post!  I haven&#039;t read the book, but I&#039;ll give you my opinion on your questions ...

No, I don&#039;t think parents are at fault if their kids &quot;go bad.&quot;  We do the best we can, and hope that our positive influence is stronger than any negative people/ideas they come in contact with (you&#039;re talking &quot;grown&quot; children, I assume ...)

Like Kathy I would contact the owner of the money, or hand it in to the police.  Hmm, I wonder what I&#039;d be doing in an abandoned building in the first place!</description>

		<description>I love the way you did this review and I&#039;m so glad you enjoyed this book.  What&#039;s funny is I actually think Pelecanos is more popular with males than females.  If I had found the money, I would have called the owner immediately, which would have changed the book.</description>

		<description>it is interesting that an husband and wife can enjoy the same books, in my experience most don&#039;t.
Whay not try a great new sporting comedy entitled, Classes Apart.

This is an adult sporting comedy that follows the fortunes of Paul Marriot, the secretary of the Barnstorm Village Sunday soccer team and coach of a school cricket team in Yorkshire, England.  The story describes the remarkable camaraderie between the players and supporters of this little club and their desire to achieve success.  Nonetheless, the team is known more for its antics off the field, rather than their performances on it.  

During his time at the club he meets and becomes involved with Emma Potter, who is the sister of James Potter, a major player for their bitter rivals Moortown Inn.   Thus, begins an entangled web of romance and conflict.  He also begins working at Derry High School, a school with a poor reputation of academic success, where he becomes coach of the school cricket team. Here he develops an amazing relationship with the children and embarks on an epic journey.

		<description>I didn&#039;t read your conversation because I need to read the book first, but I will come back and read it later.</description>

		<description>What a great review. I liked reading the questions that came to you, and how each of you answered them. And I just want to say it&#039;s wonderful that your husband reads and enjoys the same books as you do.</description>

		<description>My husband and I are always amazed how we can read exactly the same book but come up with totally different impressions.  What fun to post a joint book review!  We have a few posted on LibraryThing, but they&#039;re much less civil!  :--)</description>

		<description>I would be intersted in reading this book and joining in on the conversation. I think being a rebelious child myself I might have a different insite on the discussion.</description>
