Thank god that's over. I had the book in my car multiple times to take back to the library but I really wanted to be able to say I've read it. It was very well written but that didn't redeem it much for me.

I just realized I never added my favorite book of all time to my GR shelf. Don't expect a review though because my memory for details is shit. Only major plot spoilers stick in my head. I've read it twice and will read it again and review it then. You should read it. That's all I'm saying.
