"Started out slowly, but picked up and ran, as one reviewer said, like a freight train.
What amazed me most is how the author write the main character. She is so multi-dimensional, a person to be despised and a person to be admired. I haven't read such" Read more of this review » |

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want?
