Many original metaphors

I just finished your book yesterday. I found the book very enjoyable. You really have a good eye for people, and a gift for language. There were many original metaphors that made the narrative come to life for me. I hope you will continue writing and I look forward to your next book.

Lines I enjoyed

· Mosquito fall (51)

· Mosquitos so glad to see us that they drive us back to our car (58)

· Fearful people have the knack of planting the most fertile seeds of doubt (75)

· Hits his or her head on the low ceiling of communism (88)

· Carp in a car
dealership (90)

· Tabernacle of tourism (90)

· Lizard's gizzard (114)

· Danilo . . . makes an hourglass shape with his hands, which either means his hour is up or someone that shape is awaiting his return. (160)

· Is it the pauses, not the parties, that create friendship? (170)

· Members of the family swan in and out of the room (202)

I wish I had noted the many metaphors that I liked ...
