Although I liked the character development, I found the plot either moved way too slowly or jumped ahead too quickly.
Quick easy read. Not realistic and depressing but entertaining.
WARNING!!!!! 1990's REPRINT: It is very irritating to purchase a book---and this is the more expensive hardcover!!!! --- and then find out it is a reprint. So, beware!
