** spoiler alert ** I hate this book. My iPod just kicked the bucket. I had about 45 minutes left.

I think this book killed my iPod.

(later...)

My iPod was plugged into the computer for a last ditch effort to charge when I blew a fuse in the kitchen while cooking both popcorn and heating a pizza.

And like Dr. Frankenstein's Monster, my iPod was resurrected. And it was good.

The book, unfortunately, was not.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THOSE CHILDREN?

By the By--did 'ya notice there were no spoilers in this review? SUCKERS!

26511 No, all the spoilers were in your "recommended for" line!

My "recommended for" line was for 'the unsqueamish.' You should have listened!

I am relieved about your poor ipod, though. Pray for mine. It's got the consumption (or something.)
