I admit, this book took me a long time to really get into it. I picked it up several times only to put it back down. It wasn't until I got to about 200 pages that I was actually interested in it. I don't know if I just couldn't relate to the characters or what. I did end up becoming interested and wanting to know what was going to happen and how it all would turn out. I know another person who has read this book and they loved it. We usually like the same books too, so I'm not sure why I had such a problem with it. I recommend reading other reviews on this one and then deciding if you want to try it. There wasn't anything bad about it, I just can't put my finger on why it didn't catch my interest right away.
