I have to say I didn't really enjoy the book. It was a 2 out 5 stars read for me. To be honest I found it incredibly boring, but I know that others have enjoyed it, so your experience may very well be different from mine. I would love to hear your thoughts on it when you are through.

I read it a few months ago, it was ok, but I wouldn't rush out to re-read it...glad I borrowed it from the library...I think it had potential, it just fell flat (I gave it 3 stars, I think)
