THIS IS A REALLY GOOD BOOK. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYONE THAT DID NOT LIKE AT LEAST ONE THING ABOUT THIS BOOK. I WAS INTERESTED AND LIKED HOW HE TIED THE TWO BOOKS TOGETHER.

This is such a wonderful book! I loved it, and although it can get a little slow, the book moves along pretty well. If you are thinking about reading it, I definately say you should.
