I havent picked up a book in ages..well, I have, but its been ages since I found one I could read more than a few pages before I lost interest. Then I stumbled on this gem. The gentleman who reads the story must be schizophrenic or something..idk how he does all those voices..lol. Seriously though, I was surprised and thankful to find that this is the first in a series of seven books! I could see this becoming a movie. I hope anyone who reads this book, young or old, enjoys it as much as I have.
