This is an amazing book. I loved it. I started reading as slowly as possible because I enjoyed the prose so much I did not want to miss any imagery. But then I realized I was running out of time and the library would be banging down my door to get a book back with a waiting list a mile long (I know I already waited the mile) so I started reading at break neck speed. I really want to buy this or borrow it again. I felt I missed some things are I was rushing near the end but nevertheless I found it a wonderful work of art. This is a great book with wonderful buildup and suspense. I highly recommend it.
