I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I can honestly say that it had a new approach to storytelling with the photo incorporation that I found charming. I have always been fascinated by old pictures and the way the author used the old photos as "proof" in the book was delightful. It was a great read. I have already started on book two. My one complaint......late night reading makes me so tired the next morning. I could not put this one down once I got to around page 264. :o)
