There's not much I can say about this book that this is derrogatory in any way. I came across it by accident in the book shop, picked it up, and just could not stop reading! The next thing i knew I had nearly finished it and was late for picking up my kids!!! I rushed to the counter and bought the book, reading it to my kids that night - they wouldn't let me stop, but i left them on a real cliffhanger around the middle. They could not wait for the conclusion, i had to hide the book so they wouldn't ruin it. This book was really nothing like i expected, you've got to read it.
