Reviews
On Sep 17 2011, 1979pegasus said:
Set in an almost sing-song type, this book was not one that I would recommend to anyone. I have to read a book through to the end once I start it. This one was torture to finish. It was never clear from one paragraph to the next who the narrator was...sometimes first person, another times 3rd person.
