I'm wanting to re-read this anyway, so if anyone wants to join in with a discussion and throwing a few theories around (however wild), let's go for it. It's a fun book and I've not really discussed it anywhere yet.

So if we kick off with chapter 1...

I'll be reading that tonight! Thoughts coming tomorrow icon_book2.gif

What did you make of the opening?

I too enjoyed the beginning. We got more of a sense of the two worlds colliding in an attempt to capture this wrong-doer. I think it really set the tone for the novel overall.
