    <body><![CDATA[First of all, I have to say that I loved the binding/type face of this little book.  I had the ARC, so this probably won't apply any more once the books comes out, but it was such a solid little book, the perfect size, and I really liked the font used.  Such little things, but they really make the different in a reading experience.  I have purchased books before because they just feel right in my hands.<br/><br/>I liked this book.  The discussion between conscious and unconscious beings was certainly interesting.  I guess I was a little disappointed by the end, although I'm not sure why.  Maybe I'm just angry that the orangs won out over the humans.  I kind of felt that the story wasn't long enough, that there wasn't enough depth, to really make the surprise twist surprising enough.  Plus, I wanted to know more about Eve and that whole episode, that story. <br/><br/>But, overall, I thought it was a very engaging and intriguing book.  I just wanted more!!]]></body>
