My favourite part of the book is the cover. That's about it. People who have read this book rave about it so it might just not be my might cup of tea. It's mostly charter driven there's kind of a plot but it's not really the main focus of the book I guess. Oh and way too many descriptive sexual stuff. Again, not my cup of tea.

Ya know what. I read loads of bad reviews about this, and I was really apprehensive. And yeah, it had it's moments. But for the most part, I bloody adored it.
