WOAH! If you like love triangle books and are interested in graduating to Advanced Geometry and, this book goes way beyond the triangle.

PREACH! I am not done yet, but these are my feelings exactly!

So far, I am really enjoying the slight sarcasm/cynicism in the descriptions. He sounds like me trying to be funny when I describe things to my friends and family.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is our April through June 2018 Big Book Poll winner.

This book starts today!
