I had thought that this was an overrated book. I had thought it overhyped. I had thought that it wasn’t nearly as press-worthy as it appeared to be.
Reader, I was wrong.
I’m coming into this a little late in the game, so there’s no point in recapping the story. All I can say is that the e-mail exchange in the beginning makes it hard to get into the book–but once you do, it’s worth it. Well worth it.

I loved it too. Thought it was a great read.

It was FAB. And that one section where they’re standing in line for Mozart’s Requiem? I was laughing so hard I had to read it aloud to Steve.
