maclsj Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I picked up this book to read the other night and have to admit I couldn't put it down! Eventually I did but that was only because I'd finished it. I enjoyed it so much, well worth the read Quote
Echo Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 That book sounds pretty amazing. I'll add it to my list. It does sound a bit heavy for a children's book, but I've noticed that even the more recent Harry Potter books are becoming more and more serious, ever since Book 4. Maybe this is a new trend? Quote
