    Best Book I've Read This Year or Last
    I can't say enough about this book. When I say I love it, I really do. I started reading it yesterday and literally couldn't put it down. I forced myself to turn out the light at 2am, and it was with me all day today so I could read a page here and there as I dealt with my day. The story is beautifully written, and such a fast read. I hope many more people read this book.
