          <body><![CDATA[I thought that this book started pretty slow...  but it definitely picked up the pace, and really grabbed me by the end.  I really enjoy Strouds storytelling.  It is kind of like a story within a story.  You get to learn about the past and the present simultaneously, until they are one in the same. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48068906">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[The book is lovely.  It is witty and the characters keep you engaged. I think it would make a better screenplay, and it would not surprise me if it was made into a film starring Hugh Laurie.  Much of the dialogue I could easily envision Mr. Laurie reciting.  I could almost see him in the role.]]></body>
