This book is such a drag. Look, I really respect the author but I can tell you this is not one of his best books. I started reading this book 2 summers ago and I still cant read it. I would not recommend this book to anyone! I have read every single book I have bought but this one. I tried again to read this summer but I could not. This book has words that are not commonly used these days. I mean the story might have been good if the author just used simple words and shortened it out.
