4.5 Stars
STOP! Quit reading
reviews about this book! The only
productive thing anyone is going to be able to tell you about this book is that
you need to read it. If anyone tries to
tell you anything else, do not let them.
No good can come from knowing anything about this book. Your friends who wish to tell you about the
book are really just ruining it for you.

If you are in public and hear people discussing this book,
the best thing to do would be to cover your ears and sing Mary Had a Little
Lamb at the top of your lungs so that you cannot hear what is being
discussed. One minor flaw in that plan
would be that new discussions may start about the crazy person singing nursery
rhymes at the top of their lungs in public for no apparent reason. Maybe this is not a good plan.

If you have read the book, zip it. Your friends deserve the same chance that you
had. Allow them the privilege of going
into this book blindly. I know that we
all like to prepare our friends for what is ahead. In this case, don’t do it….you are not
helping!

If you feel that you MUST discuss this book, here is what
you can do. Buy extra copies of the book
and give them to your friends. Wait
until your friends have read the book.
Then and only then discuss the book (but not in a public area so that we
can avoid the whole singing episode previously mentioned). It will be fun. It will be like when you were little and
played school…and this time you get to be the teacher because you will be
handing out the assignments.

I must say that I did figure out the big twist in the book
about half way through but I had to find out that I was right so I kept reading
and enjoyed the journey. If I had known
that I was right, it seriously would have ruined all of the fun.

Seriously? Can nobody
follow directions anymore? Why are you
still reading this review? Stop…just
stop and go read the book.
