my thoughts~
This was a quick & easy book to read. It took less than 6 hours to work my way through. It was well written and I enjoyed reading it, though this isn't my normal type of book to read. I'm glad I tried it, I liked it...
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. Receiving a copy in no way reflected my review of this book.
