I don't think this book was particularly interesting, captivating or emotional. I guess I would say it is a "nice" book to read, it only took a few hours. Overall I'd say it was boring and I didn't gain anything from it. When I read a good book, I find myself constantly thinking about it after. I like to become immersed in a book; develop an attachment with the characters and the story. If not, then I at least like to learn something new. This book did neither for me. Also, I have to add that I love math (I majored in it), and I think if anything, this moved my rating from 1 star to 2 stars. I would not recommend it unless you would like to read a quick book that's easy to pick up and put down.
