I picked this up without knowing anything about it (surprising, considering its awards and enthusiastic reviews) and I'm so glad I did. I couldn't put it down and now I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee before noon because I'm so sleep-deprived. I wish I had something more coherent to say other than wow, I can't believe it took me so long to get around to reading this but - alas - I'm reduced to daydreaming about this book while attempting to remain awake at my desk.
