I enjoyed this book and found it to be a pretty quick read, mostly because I liked it (and fighting a bout of bronchitis, had time on my hand to sit quietly and read). Tyler usually writes stories with characters that I find interesting and compelling and this book was no exception. Not earthshaking, but a good, solid read.
