You get thrown into the world, and it's playing catch up through much of the early portion. But once you get the rhythm of things, it reads quite nicely.<br /><br />And I don't mean the above as a negative, just means that there's an economy on words and little time wasted which helps with the fast moving book.Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06262625208142078301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748211313953490132.post-72902682735086226262011-09-12T13:11:29.743-04:002011-09-12T13:11:29.743-04:00Oh, I enjoy my easy reads but every once in a whil...Oh, I enjoy my easy reads but every once in a while it's nice to get submersed in a heavier read. :) Thanks!Melissa (My World...in words and pages)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09621830513280969319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748211313953490132.post-60739931365116081602011-09-09T14:05:25.893-04:002011-09-09T14:05:25.893-04:00Oh, I haven't recommended this to you yet Mel?...Oh, I haven't recommended this to you yet Mel?
