A book hasn&#39;t touched me like these two books in a long time. Also, I can&#39;t even remember reading a sequel that out performed the first book - yet the first book was perfection. These reviews were excellent. I&#39;m glad I stalked on by. - <a href="http://parajunkee.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Parajunkee</a>ParaJunkeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11874529185180873346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732751122831932681.post-29566973969738331352009-10-08T22:38:03.849-04:002009-10-08T22:38:03.849-04:00OMG!

That&#39;s not to say I wasn&#39;t totally obsessed with finishing it, though!
