This is just another opinion thread. I love those! So I just finished FoftheF and I really enjoyed it. I went in having no idea what to expect...I just knew that it was vaguely about Mormons. I liked it a lot.
Favorite Story: The Fringe
Favorite Character: Carpenter. I would LOVE to see more of him. I was almost irritated that he was the main character of such a SHORT story. I loved his strengths, his weaknesses and his self-awareness. Great great character.
Favorite Reference to outside culture: Katie's desire to play Eleanor in the Lion in Winter. I LOVED that because I DID play Eleanor in the Lion in Winter on stage and I recognized the Damascus line. Good inside joke fun, I love it when that happens!
So, great set of stories, MUCH more satisfying than First Meetings (IMHO) and I'm glad that I bought it in the Mall of America last week.

I read that book when I was a freshman at BYU, and it didn't do much for me.
Then I read it again a few months ago. I *loved* it. I sobbed at parts. I think that because of what I have experienced these last 12 years (marriage, 3 children, etc.) some of the stories really struck home to me. Posts: 16551 | Registered: Feb 2003

It's the glint of salvation, that finding of the seed of goodness in every character/situation. In the learning that goes on. It's beautiful. Even when it's sappy.
