Enjoyable read - one of my favorite books this year. Smart and layered with plenty of heart. Would give it a five but I don't give fives. Oh and Lulu's service was exceptional. It was supposed to take anywhere from 8-15 days for printing/shipping but I received the book only 4 days after ordering it.
