I originally was very excited to read this book after hearing of the great reviews. I even paid full price at Barnes and Noble for it, something I rarely do. However, as I came into it with good intentions, I found myself not really interested in the story line. For once in my life, I was not that excited to read my nightly chapter before bed. To hold my attention, a book does not have to be action packed or have a high degree of suspense. However, something about this story could not hold my attention. I thought that the writing style was beautiful and i appreciated much of the vocabulary but this was not enough
