Description: This was definitely a compelling read. This book was around 600 pages, and I read it in lessThis was definitely a compelling read. This book was around 600 pages, and I read it in less than a week, which is insanely fast for me. A good book for an intelligent reader, as it doesn't pander to the lowest common denominator.
