I actually picked this book up at a Barnes & Noble on my way from college about last wedsneday (did I spell that right? god knows its probably the one thing I can't spell, anyway) but didn't actually start reading til Friday, and I've only just finished it.

If any of you really knew me you'd know that I never finish a book within about a month of starting it [I should probably read more often, or more frequently really :P]

This book is brilliant. I felt I've read some generic Scifi before but I almost instantly felt a deep connection with this book. I could'nt put it down (except for when some guildies needed me for a ToC run, Anub sucks, period). The fact that you have this 6 year old kid, that is generally mind-f**ked for more then half his life to do something great that the whole world praises and/or wants to kill him for it (being vague for the sake of spoilers), then he just vanishes to start again and get past his mind-f**ked childhood.


It kinda starts out the with the generic "Government Program" vibe to it but the story progresses on such a personal and psychological level with the main character you can almost see him being pulled into insanity and dragging himself back out before something else tries to kick him back in again. Overall I really enjoyed the book and felt like writing about it.

Soooooooooooooooo ya.... there it is

Thanks for reading :P
