I'm not big on doing reviews so I reserve them for either the ones I wouldn't want anyone to waste their time on or ones that blow me away. This was definitely the latter! It's also very rare that I have any desire to reread a book, but with this one, I already do. It was written so well that I could actually visualize the whole story in movie format in my head. Honestly I think this is one of those books that would make a GREAT movie. There were plenty of details and background, but it was all pertinent to getting you involved. Versus where some books go into so much detail you lose interest and nothing is left for your imagination to take over. It's also unpredictable, which I like. I despise books where I already know how it's all going to turn out or "who done it" by mid-way through the book. It makes you feel like your outside the story, when I want to be immersed in the story. Reading is part imagination, so I want to be along for the ride and lose myself in the story. With this book there were many times where I thought,"I totally didn't see that coming". She gave just enough hints to intrigue you, but waiting until the main character figured it out before everything fell together. So it totally made you feel like you were in sync with the characters. I am a big fan of Tara Brown's books, but this one has definitely taken over as my favorite.
