EDITED REVIEW: 
 I read this novel while I was doing my 'patriotic duty' and serving on a jury. I have to admit the language is sort of vague and flowy, but the book is alright. It isn't anything I'd write home about, but it is light, quick moving and just alright. I am glad I gave it a second shot 
 PREVIOUS REVIEW FROM 11/2/2008 
 I started reading this book and got all the way to page 150 or so. The fact that the author acts like you know what is going on and have an idea of what is going on in this book made it very hard for me to read. I kept thinking "Did I miss something." There was really no explaination of some of the family history, or the school so it's just one big cloud. Maybe some day I'll try to finish it. But for now I won't.
