At first, it was rather shocking. I listened to my friend's praise and borrowed it from the library without reading the back cover.

Ritkán olvasok ki egy nap alatt egy könyvet. De ez a könyv oly sok tekintetben megfelelt elvárásaimnak, hogy egyszerűen nem tudtam lassabban kiolvasni. :) Előszöris, az előzőleg olvasott könyv, ami kb. két hétig tartott, annyira lefárasztott, hogy napokig elő sem tudtam mást venni.
