My thoughts and opinion:
I was so excited to finally read this book. I've heard os much about it and wanted to see if it lived up to its standards. Aaaaaand ... I didn't like it. At all. I felt so uncomfortable reading this and probably won't pick it up again. (But then again, a lot of people love it so read it yourself to see whether you like or not :) )
