I somehow missed this one when it first came out and became a sensation. A friend of mine encouraged me to read it but was unwilling to part with their three autographed copies, so I started hunting for it in bookstores. After three months of failing to find it on any Barnes and Noble or Schulers bookshelf, I finally renewed my library card, et voila, numerous copies were at my disposal. All I can say is, despite one specific plot point that was a wee bit too convenient and more than a little action flick hence out of place, I understand the desire to make sure this book is consumed. A powerful, tragic yet hopeful, darkly informative work such as this deserves it
