Why did you like or dislike this book?
This book was very good. The four main criteria I look for in books were all more or less met (appropriate, interesting, writing style, character development). As in all books, this book had a few inappropriate, boring, and disagreeable sections. On the whole, however, it was a very satisfying read.
