Review: Slice of life, dash of mystery and air of suspense.

Fantastic book, I'm totally glued - it is incredibly long (as it does include all of Hallie Palmer adventures), but it's hard to put down.I love the underlying beat of the prose, the hard headed heroine, and the absolute hilarity of characters accompanying the protagonist. The book sort of reminds me of catcher in the rye, and handful of my own life experiences.As I go through the protagonist's thought processes, it occurs to me that while Hallie might be bit of a sour grape at times, perhaps just a bit cynical - she's a unique young person with a great drive and quick mind, that one can identify with.Details surrounding the protagonist ring true consistently, yet the light tone with which Laura wields her creations, makes it even more enjoyable to read.Definitely thumbs up and a must read!
