I had hear great things about this book, but the length and age of it was daunting. But at the insistence of a friend, I decided to take it on. And man, it is a great page-turning revenge story. I suspected it would take me months to finish, but in actuality, it took only three weeks. For anyone who has been avoiding this book because it is daunting, I really recommend you to take the plunge - you won't regret it.

It is a roller-coaster of a book, with well conceived plot twists, even if some of those can been seen from a mile away. It is equally cathartic, melodramatic, and racing. There are some flaws, but they are easy to dismiss given all the great things about this book. (I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5, but absent half stars, would definitely round up).
