It's a very enjoyable book, I enjoyed it 'till the very end and I hope that you guys will enjoy it as well.
Also, don't be fool by the way it says a Children's Bestseller, it does contain bad language like the B word :]
It made me very happy that I was able to read this before the librarian read it and decide to take it out.
Unless I read like... the 18+ version of that book... oh well :L
