Haven't read it. I'm enjoying "Turning Angel" By Greg Isles right now. Damn he's easy to read.

4. I've read that several times.

Isn't it great? I even liked the movie and I usually don't like movies made from books I've loved.

10. I read it years ago..when it first came out..I did like the book, but at that time

there were a lot of books with a similar theme and that kind of dulled it for me a bit.
