It would be a stretch to use the word"enjoy" with regards to my feelings for this book. With that said, I was completely absorbed by Mr. McCann's way with words! His writing is thoroughly engrossing and his story line was deep and dark. I just could not put this book down. I cannot exactly explain it but was absolutlely involved with the characters. Just ordered his "Let the Great World Spin". Can't wait!
