It's often in retrospect that the experience becomes more vivid. I wonder too if it's more because we are not in the moment as much as generations before us were. Always distracted with insignificant things. It was an incredible accheivement even by today's standards.<br />AnnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439728220227538124.post-27927560591939158032009-07-26T08:05:33.526-07:002009-07-26T08:05:33.526-07:00This post reminded me that my father's evacuee...This post reminded me that my father's evacuee parents (who became a sort of extra surrogate set of grandparents to us) never believed in the moon landing. They were born approximately 1890 so they would have been around 80 ish when the moon landing occurred. They both swore it was government propoganda and declared it was actually filmed in a studio. Nothing any of us said would change their minds.<br />I remember watching the moon landing on the television at home but I don't remember any excitement amongst teachers at school ~ they didn't seem to make a fuss over it.Authorhttp://j9marshall.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439728220227538124.post-63314552214819450682009-07-06T04:14:20.415-07:002009-07-06T04:14:20.415-07:00I have only read one of her books and I did enjoy ...I have only read one of her books and I did enjoy it.<br />Though as you said very intense with so many twists and turns.<br />I'll look out for this one now at the library ;)♥.Trish.♥ Drumboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482654455512269065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439728220227538124.post-30125160244930365292009-07-02T07:05:59.933-07:002009-07-02T07:05:59.933-07:00Hi Jan isn't that spooky?

I read Nineteen Minutes and I am trying to remember if i had trouble with it...possibly not as I am very into those school tragedy type ones. <br /><br />What really impressed me with Jodi is that she corresponded with my son, who as you may know is a writer, in a very helpful way about writing and the process. I admire her for turning her earlier books around from the more romance style formulaic novel ...she just needs I think to write these in such a way that we do not always predict what the characters are going to do or how they are going to react.

I have read most of JP's books - and I do enjoy them (although some are noticeably better than others)~ and I agree she researches the content well.<br /><br />Sometimes I too have felt overwhelmed by who is who, and so many different threads - although oveall I like her writing.<br /><br />I finished my last JP book a couple of weeks ago and it took me simply ages to read as it was hard going at first, although the pace picked up as I continued. It was entitled "Nineteen Minutes".Authorhttp://j9marshall.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439728220227538124.post-21182128438366263562009-07-01T08:39:50.572-07:002009-07-01T08:39:50.572-07:00Wow, comment number one says it all!
