Hi Winter,

Yes it was very good. For such a well known story, there is still the element of shock & suspense. I hope you that enjoy it!

I love that book. I've read it two or three times.
I can't believe that I'm old enough to have books written when I was in high school considered classics.

[Kadijah Michelle]

Update! I have finished 2/3.
