Re: [LM_NET] HIT: Newbery (--Edward Tulane, love it or hate it?)

[STEVEN COOL <kcool223@HUGHES.NET>]

I wanted to share this just because I thought it was so interesting.  I 
just finished reading the Dean Koontz book Brother Odd (somehow I found 
time to read an adult book!) and in it there is a monk who turned to 
God because of reading Edward's story, it made him see the errors of 
his ways (he was working for the Mafia at the time).  It took me by 
surprise to find Edward mentioned in such a book, not what I expected.  
I was very excited however because I truly love this book.  I found 
this very interesting that Koontz knew of Kate DiCamillo and her works 
and would take time to mention it in his book.  You can tell by reading 
the passage that he truly loves this book, as do I!  At the end of 
Brother Odd he makes reference to DiCamillo and her books and how much 
he enjoys them.  I just found that very interesting and wanted to 
share.
