Journal Entry 1 by symphonicca from Ottawa, Ontario Canada on Friday, January 18, 2008
Given to me by my sis to read!

From the back: "Falling in love. Falling from a mountaintop. Falling out of favor. Falling from grace. This mezmerizing novel captures the exhileration of emotional freefall in its myriad of guises."

_____________________

Not a bad book--- definately not as mezmerizing or exhilerating as it describes on the back. It as okay--- but i never got the sense of freefall or abandonment that was talked about in the teaser. And some of the descriptions of climbing were, in my opinion, more detailed and cumbersome than they needed to be. Seriously. After reading for three pages about scaling one section of a cliff, I was about done. But there were some interesting characters developed, and it was not a bad story. Nothing that blew my socks off, but not a bad read either.
