Most memorable scene
In some reason I like the scenes with Matt and his dog, Pumpkin. I do not know why, but I like it. Pumpkin is a golden retriever bitch, not a bitch as a bad ass; of course I mean a female dog. Pumpkin is always happy and can mostly cheer Matt up. Since Pumpkin wore a retriever she liked to hunt. Sometimes Matt felt guilty because he was not a hunter. To make the best of the situation Matt used to throw Frisbees and sticks to her to catch.

The language in the book
It is not that much old fashion words slang in the book. It is quite easy to read, not that much hard words or long sentences. But in the book there sometimes is email-dialogues and there is a huge different in mails that Matt send to Ursula to the emails Ursula send to Matt. Matt writes properly with whole sentences and spell his words correct. Ursula does not care as much as Matt about the way she writes.
About the scene with his dog: don't you just love that feeling of belonging, security that you understand that Matt shares with Pumpkin?? He knows that if all else fails, he can always rely on her to be there for him. - Good catch on the different styles of Matt & Ursula.
