Beautiful. Excessive and obnoxious overreliance on comma splices when semicolons would suffice and be grammatically sound. But beautiful. First time I've really enjoyed extended physical descriptions, because they were perfect and mattered so much. Lovely.

First, I need to thank Cheryl for giving this book a great rating which caused me to look it up and find it available at the library.

I started listening to this a few months ago (Jim Dale, need I say more) but I got really confused with all the time switching so I gave up.
