And it was amazing!!!! I totally agree about it breaking the normal storytelling rules - both with the gorilla POV and with the short titled segments (they're too short to really call chapters). It's almost like half the story is in the text and the other half is in the parts which Applegate decided to leave out.... So masterful!Shelby Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11388437514764925188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293818069256266954.post-30657791006334955102012-03-19T19:27:15.958-07:002012-03-19T19:27:15.958-07:00Thanks for the great book recommendations, Shelley...Thanks for the great book recommendations, Shelley!

As for The Scorpio Races itself, it was my favorite read last year. Riveting and beautiful.<br />Your rave and that trailer for The One and Only Ivan have convinced me that is a must-read, too.

Nicely done. <br /><br />I absolutely adored ONE AND ONLY IVAN. It reads like a modern-day fable, and one that should become an instant classic.<br /><br />And I loved SCORPIO RACES. So glad it got a Printz honor. It's a thrilling ride of a story.Joanne R.
