Soooooo good.

I bought this after reading about it on John Scalzi’s blog.

Tactile and intense. Made me cry on the El train. I felt like I was in Mary’s head. I could barely put it down.
Wow, what a book. Spring 2010 is tooooo long to wait for the next one! Too long!

Sure, you won’t be able to read it without thinking of M. Night Shymalan’s The Village (a movie most people hated but I loved mostly for Joaquin’s quietly brooding performance. That scene where they’re on the porch? Sigh.), but just put it out of your mind as the similarities are only circumstantial.
