Fairly decent book, but a very 'light' read, and though I haven't seen it yet, I'm actually going to be contrary and claim that I believe it's a plot that'll work better as a movie than as a book (similar to "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" where I loved the movie but only thought the bo...
