intrigue at its best
You are seamlessly and completely immersed in a totally foreign culture, enveloped in a mystery that immediately pulls you in from page one! I passed the book on to my 73 year old mother and she read it in 3 days!! My boyfriend, a teacher, used it in series of books as required reading for an extra credit course for high school students (and their parents)-the kids said it was their favorite book in the series.
