I have the audiobook though, so I think I'll give that a shot. Hopefully I enjoy it as much the second time around as I did the first.Nikki (Wicked Awesome Books)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10379785087255968519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-8265233231376972002010-09-22T14:30:51.031-04:002010-09-22T14:30:51.031-04:00This is already on my wishlist.

I think this is particularly impressive because it was written by two people. Every time I know this, I try to look for where one voice ends and the other begins. Did you notice anything like this or was it smooth?
