Ah, we're talking about success. If this is a true story then it lends credence to my uneducated theory on several issues: success, character and life are what you want them to be. I'd say each of the characters is a success in their own vision with Maureen a bit slower on the uptake of understanding. Looks like these kids were brought up under excellent conditions to formulate really adaptive strong people - and they turned out that way. Each of them led the life they chose and paid the price of that success. It'd be interesting to follow some similar families who did not have genius parents, but were just everyday grunts and see how they turn out.
Charlie is a tick away from Rex, by the way.

Ahem, the grammar Nazi would like to make a correction: "Success, character and life are what you want them to be." Retard.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to read this - I was unaware that you had picked up this book. I guess you liked it, but I didn't really.
Oooh, that was actually an easy one.
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting, but isn't that the purpose of this exercise - to read stuff you might not normally pick up.
