'I read various types of novels. Some books give long involved descriptions. I don't mind a little of that, but in addition the story has to have a certain amount of faction....I've just finished "Escape" by Bessie Myers. I rather liked it. I admired the efficiency of the girls, as well as the incidents they experienced as a result of their flight. Part of it is in Diary Form, it gave you a certain sense of intimacy, and it didn't seem a bit fantastic.'
