This book was rated best of the Decade by Paste Magazine, which is what got me to read it. I wish I didn't know they'd given it that rating, though, b/c it raised my expectations unreasonably high. So in the beginning, I wasn't thrilled by the book b/c I was expecting, with a number 1 ranking, to be instantly hooked. However, before I was 1/3 of the way through, I was enjoying it, and by halfway, I was REALLY enjoying it. By the end, I loved it. I still have a lot of books to read before I can say it is the best of the decade, but it's definitely up there!
