I remember I got out Dicey's Song from the library when I was thirteen or so, but couldn't actually get into it. At the time I blamed it on not having read the previous book, Homecoming, but maybe it was more than that? Interestingly enough, I actually have A Solitary Blue on my bookshelf, as I picked it up from a used bookstore when I was in college--partly because the back summary sounded interesting, and maybe because I also wanted to give Cynthia Voigt another try, now that I was older and more learned? (Alas, I never actually got around to reading it, pfft. Reading your take on it, though, makes me think I shouldn't yet put it on the giveaway pile? It seems like the sort of thing I'd definitely have to be in the right mood for, but could, in fact, probably appreciate these days.)
