I don't know why I am in such a reminiscent mood except that spring and the reappearance of toads always awakens the old acquisitive instinct | Astaire was movie star playing a movie star kind of guy to me |

The letters are funny and enthusiastic, the reader realises something before Judy does which makes for all the more amusing reading |
Once she begins reading voraciously it is more troubling that her imagination couldn't do the numbers because she felt so grateful to the "trustee" this was creepy because inmates with special benefits are called this now for her opportunities | A dear little story, but with some major flaws in worldview |

Overall, an enjoyable tale, especially with the original pen-and-ink drawings that Judy used as illustrations, and one that will be sure to make you laugh aloud—but not something I'd consider suitable for younger girls who aren't yet sure about their faith and their politics | For another, she got to know him on normal terms; it wasn't like he was grooming her or anything--it wasn't GIGI |
You know how sometimes, you're not tired of reading because who could ever get tired of reading??? John Smith of gifts, she can't help but be depressed writing to someone who never writes back.
