Though I don\\\'t usually read books in this type I found that once I started it I could not put it down. It feels like you get to know these characters personally and you can\\\'t help but really, really care about what happens to them. I found myself thinking about them long after the book was done, as though they were real people in my life. The group discussion was very interesting, how different people viewed the various events. Everyone seemed invested in the discussion and what they thought.
