"A Gentle Story"
I enjoyed the story even though it moves fairly slowly. I liked the characters. Found the narrator irritating. Listen to a sample before you buy.
"Good story for young teens"
Good story, though I think I would have liked it better as a paperback. I think the 11-16 yr olds will enjoy it.
"Long and tedious"
This book comes in two sections because it is so long. Unfortunately it is also tedious with details. The title sounds exciting, but it's not! The second half is worse, and I fast-forwarded through most of it. There is a strong connection between the fires and sex. I never knew there were so many ways to describe a man getting off. Don't bother with this one unless you like court transcripts!
