I'm not making this up when I tell you ...Hi Ed,<br />I'm not making this up when I tell you I peeled PITY HIM AFTERWARDS off my bookshelf two nights ago. I'm only 5k in, but you're right--this book, and especially the first bit (so far!) is amazing. I'm learning about POV even while I'm enjoying the read. <br /><br />Small world. Lots of books. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />MattMatthew P.
