Carla was the first book by Mark Barry that I read. It had a profound effect on me. The characters were very compelling and the story had me on an emotional roller coaster. I laughed and cried. I have now read this book twice and enjoyed it as much the second time as I did the first time. I have since read other books by Mr. Barry and have yet to be disappointed. Thank you Mr. Barry for sharing your marvelous talent.
