Also the way the recoding was on a loop connects to the circular nature of all things LOST.<br /><br />I read a short story in a YA collection recently that also reminded me of this story. I guess the concept of it just really intrigued me.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515314638093018928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-79242393015649614832010-05-11T20:55:45.754-04:002010-05-11T20:55:45.754-04:00The woman on the cover is absolutely beautiful, an...The woman on the cover is absolutely beautiful, and this sounds like a really interesting book.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13917705393662132891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-50237989434505019862010-05-11T18:38:56.767-04:002010-05-11T18:38:56.767-04:00I read a review of this story several months ago, ...I read a review of this story several months ago, and it sounded so interesting that I added it to my wish list.

I felt it was more allegory pr fable or something than realistic. Like, the fact that he was obsessed with the woman he couldn't talk to. I don't know, I can't explain the allegory. I'd have to read it more carefully. It just seemed there was something a layer underneath I hadn't quite caught on to! I liked it though.Rebecca Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062252252301802298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-76151410597965869872010-05-11T12:39:25.704-04:002010-05-11T12:39:25.704-04:00bermudaonion - It is a really short story so you s...bermudaonion - It is a really short story so you should definitely give it a shot - it won't take long to read, then you can let me know if the concept disturbs you as well! :)Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-30682787488563847732010-05-11T12:26:03.557-04:002010-05-11T12:26:03.557-04:00Your review has piqued my interest.
