I pulled this book out of a book box some time ago, and just realized it was a Bookcrossing book! I'm going to read it now.
I read this book in an afternoon, I wish it had more detail. I'm sending it down to my daughter in Florida, as she has expressed interest in reading it.
Though the premise and the story was interesting, the book glossed over what I would think would be the "more interesting" stuff and described in detail the "less interesting" stuff. I did get through it quickly.
