i typically only read books that come highly recommended from some source i deem reliable. this was one such book. the danger with this routine is that with adulation comes expectation and when it is not quick to deliver, i am quick to tire. i'm sure in the right time, right place and right frame of mind, it may have caught my rapture a little sooner but as things were, it did not.

that is not to say though that it didn't have some really great moments and phrases and imagery, it's just to say that the book came highly recommended and well we've already covered that.
