• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.25

At the middle and the very end i would give it a 5 but I think the author could probably knock about 100 pages off and the book would be better. But this is my first successful read from the little library box in my neighborhood.
