Reviews

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well, I probably rated this slightly higher than it deserved...I really enjoyed the book, partially because it's difficult to find any decent story with snow leopards in it (and as they're likely my favorite animal, I'm always on the search). The writing itself was a little dry, perhaps, and the story did not exactly move quickly. The story itself I thought was pretty good, but the writing could have been a bit better.
