And I understand that the author must feel a lot of pressure concerning this one (he should).

One thing I've never been able to figure out is how authors feel about libraries.

I get the impression that the author felt the same way.

The author feels this book is a landmark in her career.

The author felt the existence of a living creature in this plant.

You read the review and wish the author felt he could cut loose.

These authors feel that the hard part is now out of the way.
