Reviews

[Kathi · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book, through no fault of its own, was read over the course of a month, and my opinion of the book is colored by that. Some parts seemed to drag and then the last 100 pages or so just flew. And again, perhaps because it took me so long to find time to read, I ended up with some unanswered questions. I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I had been able to read it over the course of a week instead of a month, so it's hard to know how much my rating reflects my experience or the weakness of the book itself.
