Picked it up on the Kindle store awhile back. It started out real good. Weird, but good. Halfway through it does this long backstory deal that messes with the pace, but I've been sick and unable to concentrate the last couple days, so hopefully I can get back into it soon.

My family reads a LOT. So we do a lot of Kindle books, and order physical books through Amazon, plus we use the Libby app for our local public library, as well as driving to the library and doing it the old fashioned way.
