— Tina, 1/27/2009" This book was...okay. It wasn't great, but somewhere in the middle I suppose. I really liked the writing style, language used, etc. but to me, the middle of the story dragged on, and was a bit...weird. It started out great, and ended very well, but the middle was just way too long. "
