    <body><![CDATA[This book was interesting in concept, but it was just an okay read (probably a 2.5 star for me).  I found the ending a bit unsatisfying and too many characters kept being introduced (especially after the halfway point of the story).  There were definitely characters the story could have lived withou...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48107079">more...</a>]]></body>
