I don't ever look at reviews for books until after I have read them so the opinions of others don't effect my own. Although this was an easy read, it grabbed my attention from the start. The story was well written and the end was a genuine surprise. I kept waiting for the story to become too slow or boring and to lose interest but it just never happened. I finished it in less than 3 days in my slow time at work and almost wish I hadn't read it so quickly... I would highly recommend this to anyone.
