The Book of Fate

In short, light weight and very entertaining. The time spent reading it certainly wasn't wasted.

The book gripped me from the beginning and kept me turning the pages even when I should have been sleeping.

Others have complained about the multiple points of view, to me this was a plus. It brought the book alive in a very tele-visual way.

The plot was fantastical. I don't doubt that this is based on a highly unlikely, even impossible conceit but as I was reading I just didn't care. It was fun and entertaining.

The characters were engaging. They weren't truly three-dimensional but the were well enough rounded that I cared for them.

The pacing was fast and fantastic. It was a real page turner.
