I have it on my TBR list. I appreciate you review because I keep hearing and reading raves about this book which is partly why I haven't read it yet. Usually after hearing so many positive things about a book I find it disappoints. You review tempered the other things I have heard and brought the book back down to earth for me! I didn't realize there's a lot of violence. I like knowing that going in. It's also good to know that, despite a few flaws, the story captivated you. Thanks for a great review!

Then I read the first couple chapters but was not inspired by the stilted writing. I guess there must be a great plot for it to be popular. I'm open to pick it up again.

It actually prompted me to buy, and read <i>No god but God</i> by Reza Aslan. It 's a great read, I'd recommend it. I’m glad you liked the book!

I hated the writing and I never felt drawn in. I quit reading when it got to That Scene, which I found completely distasteful. I’m one that didn’t like this book.
