It is not. nossy Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 04:08:00 AM
I won't knock it because apparently a lot of people think it is a great book. It just wasn't a good fit for me. And I was dissappointed because it had been over hyped. So I am trying not to do that myself. Probably failing miserably. :<img class=' />

I know there are different opinions out there, but I hate that book. Really. I made myself finish it too, because I kept wondering when the good parts would happen. I just did not like it.
