I actually discovered through blog reviews that it wasn't at all a fantasy. I am relieved I found that out in advance or else I would have been disappointed. Not to say this wasn't a great book anyway--it was, of course. I just like to know what I'm in for--at least in terms of genre.<BR/><BR/>Framed - The movie trailers were misleading, weren't they? I hope to get the movie in the next week or so and watch it. <BR/><BR/>Gautami - I hope you can find a copy! <BR/><BR/>Stephanie - I'll probably be crying when I watch the movie too. :-) I bet I'd cry if I reread the book. LOL I can be such a cry baby when it comes to movies and books.
