I was really surprised by this novel. When I read the description of it I thought it might be a little too cheesy and not that realistic. But I actually found it to be a pretty enjoyable read. The epilogue was really good, too- I thought it tied it all off very well. The only thing I didn't like about this book was that it started off really slow and took a little bit to get into. Other than that, this was a really good book!

My Rating: :0) :0) :0) :0) 4 out of 5 smileys.

Would I recommend it to a friend?: Yes, but only if they don't mind reading science fiction/fantasy novels. It's a great book but it's a little out there, and I know some people don't enjoy that type of stuff.

Hugs,
