She goes to her parents, who in turn call the police and the humane society. Scarfalloto has the ability to take some of the most complicated ideas and make them approachable and accessible. It is an entertaining read, but I found that I could only take so much at a time before I felt like I was getting bogged down and had to take a break and read something else. I was the most impressed by the way the author really stood by his word with the tittle of the book i.e. For what we get there—and this is the larger part of the book—is a brilliant example not only of Shakespeare interpretation but also of superb teaching. But I digress. However only the most dedicated will slog through the deadly dreary writing. MacLeod has crafted a believable account of one boy's process of coming to terms with a change he doesn't like. I didn't thi
