It's well worth reading.<BR/><BR/>Stephanie - You've read plenty of books in the meantime, so you have a valid excuse. :-)<BR/><BR/>Heather - I know what you mean. I've come across books that I've felt that way about too. They should interesting, but I'm not busting down the bookstore door to read it. If it falls in my lap, maybe. LOL<BR/><BR/>Iliana - It's definitely not Curious Incident. I like Haddon's writing style in this one as well though. I like his use of language.<BR/><BR/>CJ - I hope you will like it when you read it. I'm not sure I'd classify it as excellent, but I'm sure there are those who think so. :-)<BR/><BR/>Rhinoa - I'll be interested to read your thoughts on it when you do read it. I am glad your mom enjoyed it. :-)<BR/><BR/>Kookie - Thank you. Yes, he seems to have a knack for turning the ordinary into a good story. <BR/><BR/>Carrie K - Haha Thank you.
