2012-05-18, I was reading this book over the Christmas hliadoy, and I had to put it down I was so depressed by it! Once I managed to push pass to about 1/2 way through the book I was OK. Watching the chaos of materialism of Christmas while trying to plow through the book wasn't particularly good timing on my part.However, I like it so much I plan on seeing if I can pick up a used copy at the local bookstore.
