Not gonna read this yet, as I've yet to read the book myself! :)

That's okay :). Looking forward to reading your review. I'm curious as to what other people thought about this book.

When I post mine, I'll do the usual "other reviews" list so you can see who else has one posted. :)

And thank you!
