It seems like such a thought-provoking read, I can't wait to get to it.

If there wasn't there would be no way I would even consider reading it. Might have to think on this one, but I am now curious. :)Melissa (Books and Things)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074452958853212024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-28108393711400686852014-01-14T15:40:24.880-06:002014-01-14T15:40:24.880-06:00I recall seeing a review for this.

I am not sure it is for me though as I am trying to avoid drama and angst these days.

I guess I could take this journey with him precisely because there's nothing about him to like at first. <br />Not sure yet, but you made this sound very interesting.<br />Lovely review!Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-78817775026691862882014-01-14T10:20:48.408-06:002014-01-14T10:20:48.408-06:00Great review.

I love that we get to see some growth from him, but I'm glad too that he's not all of a sudden this changed man, that it's a definite journey in this book. I'm not entirely sure this is the book for me, but I'm definitely curious, and usually my curiosity gets the best of me. Lovely review as always!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.com
