Wow, when I first started this in April it was just a challenge to get through it, so I put it aside... until last week when I picked it up again and simply adored the last half of the book. I'm not sure what it was about it that made it hard to get through earlier, perhaps reading a lot more this year helped. Hard to say. Anyhow, it's the last book in my 2010 book-to-film challenge and I'm thrilled I made it through all 20 books selected!
