True, the book is delightful in parts and is a joyride, a good way to take your mind off. But I too would give it the rating of a "good read." I have taken the liberty of quoting you in my book review, so just thought I would drop in and let you know! :) I thought your review was quite insightful as I felt the same, especially about the contrived ending.

I have enjoyed a dark, depressing book from time to time (enjoy? Well, maybe appreciated is a better word!)...but this one didn't do it for me. Glad to see I wasn't alone :) Gavin: I agree – there was just something missing. I have enjoyed a dark, depressing book from time to time (enjoy?

If you look at <a HREF="http://www.caribousmom.com/reading-journals/2009-in-review/" rel="nofollow">my reading journal page</A>, my star system is explained in more detail than I could do in a sidebar. Three stars here means it was okay and some people might like it (actually MANY people love this book...). You are, of course, entitled to rate your books however you like...but this is the system I choose to use and I like it.

I don't really click with this one, for a lot of the reasons you mentioned. Dark can be good, but this felt really gimmicky to me. Great review.
