" The book that got me reading. "
— Anthony, 1/3/2014 -
" The cover made this book look like a lightweight book, and the first 3 chapters seemed that way, too, so I bailed out. I've since checked the PW & Library Journal reviews & reader's reviews on Amazon.com & here, most of which have been overwhelmingly positive, so maybe I was biased by the cover. "
