I’m not entirely sure what to say about this book,  or how I feel about it now that I’m finished.

It took me a long time to read.  Really a long, long time.  I started this book well before the Harry Potter book.  Sometimes the writing was hard to get into, too wordy, just too much.  But then other times, it worked, it grabbed me completely.  Sometimes it made me laugh,  and sometimes it made me, not sad, but I don’t know.

The story was not what I expected.  But it was good, worth reading and I’m not likely to forget Sophie, Nathan or Stingo anytime soon.
