This book caught my attention and held it from the first page. I was drawn into the world...right into, not just skating on the top of it, but into it. I was sad when it was over.

So lets get down to it. I LOVED IT SO MUCH. I was 80 pages into it and it pulled me in. This book was finished in one sitting and 70 minutes. I wasn't expecting for it to be that good (keep in mind i have never seen the movie) Also after reading this book i looked at the world differently. *SPOILER ...
