If you need a review to decide if you'd like to read, please keep a few things in mind:
1) It was kind of slow, I enjoyed the last 150 pages better than the first 200; 2) Pay attention to the dates; and 3) An overall good use of the imagination!

If you've read already and are curious about what others thought: 1) Ok, so Good & Evil are not strictly categorized as Black & White. Perhaps that is one of the things that annoyed me most about the book. 2) Didn't think there was much character development. Any takers on this? 3) Some good writing here and there, but wished Ms. Morgenstern held onto it or continued with it.

The one quote that could probably sum up the book: "We are all involved in your game, and it seems we are not as easily repaired as teacups." (Pg. 256)
