Summary: UPDATE - The Killilea Family
Review: On Oct. 25, 1999, I wrote a review of the wonderful book,"Karen." I shared that I had met the actor Pat O'Brien (Uncle Pat to the Killilea kids) and had been told that Jimmy and Marie were divorced. I now know that he was referring to young Marie, but only found out for sure within this past month. Because of these online reviews and the fact that some had left their e-mail addresses for contact, a group of us formed a bit of a "fan club," have been together on a Yahoo site since Oct. 29, 1999, and now have a membership of over 600! It is there that we have discovered a variety of information and have become friends as well. As always, the fact remains that Marie's are among the most well written, entertaining, and inspiring books of all time.

Summary: Excellent book to read!
Review: When I first read this book, I was just starting my freshman year in high school. Although "KAREN" I read then was a graded reader for Japanese high school students, it was an impressive book (very difficult, though) and most of all the students in the class cried when Karen said "I CAN WALK, I CAN TALK. I CAN READ. I CAN WRITE. I CAN DO ANYTHING." Several years later, I found "KAREN" and its sequel here and read whole story. The story still gave me strong impression and gave me a chance to think "if I had been like Karen, what I would do?" I just keep my friends who can read English) to read both the books (unfortunately, most of my friends cannot read English).
