" While not my usual fare, I have to admit that this book grew on me through the course of my time with it. I took about a week to slowly make my way through the first half, but finished the second half in a single day (and a work day, at that). While the characters on the periphery fail to grow beyond stereotypes, the central figures read as true and interesting. I was surprised by how much their story came to mean to me. "
