Review: The first part of the book
killed me. I just hated it. It was boring, dull and completely not what
I wanted to read. Of course, that section had to be the longest one too,
which only added to my aggravation. However, the last two sections made
up for the first because they delved into exactly what I wanted to read
about. And thank god for that or this highly over-priced book would have
been a waste. So I highly recommend the last two sections of this book,
they definitely made read the entire novel worth it. There's a great
deal of insight involved in these essays that were kind of eye-openers.
I kind of wish it had come out a little earlier in the series, but ah
well. |
