Yep, this is one of the reasons I've popped back for a visit... to get a reliable set of opinions on this book! So thanks especially, Rouge, Trillian, Astrid etc keep the thoughts coming.

Also, I have an unedited book that, when I finally have my life back after uni, I hope to finish and it's kinda motivating to hear that people are largely forgiving of the quality of writing IF the story is good!

I haven't read the Twilight series... so won't really understand those connections.

Also... one reason I haven't read FSOG is that my DH doesn't wear his suits and ties anymore since he stopped working I miss that and I'm worried that it'll just make me even sadder... but that's pretty shallow isn't it?
