I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that even mentioned roller derby, much less made it a major topic. (Even better, every third word or so makes me laugh out loud.) Her writing flows and every word helps to develop the story. I usually don’t even need to re-read one to make sense of it.

When I read her blog posts and books, I never try to re-write sentences. Pamela Ribon is, in my opinion, an excellent writer. They’re not necessarily bad writers-though that is frequently the case-but their sentence structure and use of our language just doesn’t work with the way my brain processes text. Some authors write in ways that I absolutely DO NOT LIKE. Just about any book in which I’m not re-writing sentences in my head as I read is good by me.

If you don’t want to read this whole post, know this: I LOVED Going in Circles. This is partly because my blog is kind of becoming all-Pamie-all-the-time and I thought maybe you/she deserved a break, but it’s mainly because it took me some time to decide exactly what I wanted to say about the story. It’s taken me a while to write up my thoughts about Going in Circles, the latest novel by Pamela Ribon.
