Couple things:

One, I cried at the end of this book, because I'm a big baby.

Two, if you do not love run-on sentences and excessive use of commas, this book is not for you. Fortunately, I LOVE THAT STUFF!

Very good book! Really different and interesting genre !? I loved the sudden perspective change - it seemed necessary and I was glad I was able to understand thoughts from the reporter. Overall, give it a read! Loved it
