Thank you for writing this review! I started reading this book awhile ago but I got it from the library because at the time it was only available in hardcover and I didn't want to spend that much money on a new author. Since it was from the library and popular I could only have it for ten days and since it was slow reading I never finished it. But I've heard a lot of good things about it and since we like a lot of the same books I think I'll pick it up now that it's out in paperback.
