My Thoughts on This Book
This was a book full of intertwined characters and story lines. I was mesmerized by the life of both the main characters in the book. I loved and hated both of them at different times in the book. It was an amazing story of strength, courage, deception, greed, and a little bit of love in the mix. I liked that there was a lot of detail about each character, luring the reader in. What I didn't like about the book was that it seemed like the author ran out of gas in the end. I felt like the last 100 pages drug on and on. To top it off, I didn't like how he tied the end together in the end. I'm not sure how I would have ended the book, but that certainly wasn't it. Overall, it was a good read.
