    <body><![CDATA[This book was a little slow-moving at first, but then picked up speed around the second half.  MacDonald is a really methodical writer, so even though his plot is convoluted (in a fantastic way), he untangles each thread enough so that you're confused, but still curious.  This book also serves as a ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40311057">more...</a>]]></body>
