I actually read this book months ago, but I couldnt register it because it was my mom's copy. But today I found this copy at the Stering Heights Public Library Used Book Store. So, I figured, hey, what the heck! For a buck fifty I'd buy it and put it up for trade! :) Turned out that one of the volunteers at the book store had just donated the book that day. She thought that the writing was wonderful, but didnt seem too impressed with the story. I however loved the story (and the writing).

I have to say this is the best I have read in along time. I couldn't put it down. I finished this book in a day. I knew there was a reason I wanted to read this book so bad. Thank you for share this book with me.
I will pass this book.

This book is up for trade.

My God. I was not prepared for this book. I didn't know. Didn't know what reading it would be like. Didn't know how it would make me feel. I stayed up until 4 AM reading this. It left me raw. I don't think I've cried like that for a really long time. For at least the last 100 pages of this book, tears streamed out. Only part of it was reaction to the story (the plot) itself. The ideas behind it. Thinking about my own life. I don't know how this will affect me tomorrow or the days and years to come. But I've had a profound reading experience. I've been changed just a little bit. I'm starting to come to terms with my father's death (not murder - he had lung cancer - died last March). We were not close (he was an alcoholic). I'm getting too personal. This should be in my private journal. Sorry. I'm still reeling from reading this book.

I'm not really sure what I think about this book yet. I guess I'm still working it over trying to decide how I really feel about it.
I started it a month or so ago, but had to stop in the middle of it because of family issues. I was really enjoying this book up until that point, but when I started it up again it just didn't have the same appeal to it as it had at first.
This is probably going to have to be a book I will read over to give a final opinion. This copy however is making it's journey to my sister in California.
