Easy read and riveting. |
I just started that yesterday. I went to the bookstore. My brother had given me a gift certificate that he had for christmas, over the weekend. Would've been better had I remembered to take it to the store.
So far it's interesting.

I read that one, too, casi. I thought it was good, but A Thousand Acres was better imo.
