Pages: 610
One of the best books I have read recently. It was fun to get out of the paranormal books for a bit. I have to say that I came into this book knowing really nothing about the story. I didn't even read a summary or such it had just come up on the Amazon free book of the day list and I knew the title so I picked it up. That was may of 2010 and finally after the new year I was flipping through the back log of books I haven't read yet and came across it. I didn't have any series to work on and was looking for something different. This really hit the spot. The book was well written considering that it was a translation. The story really was compelling and it hooked me very early on. I will admit that about 50 pages in I was a bit confused and ended up going back to the first chapter to try to nail down the times that things were happening because I had somewhere along the line mistakenly mixed up some of the characters but once I was straight I worked my way through the story. I was able to put it down to begin with but I think I read that last 200 pages or so of the story in a single night because the pace had just picked up so much and I had to know more.
Really a great read and I somewhat look forward to the movie to see that interpretation though the follow up books are on my wish list now.
