This isn't a good book because it has a great story or wonderful plot development. It's a good book because the message it delivers is powerful and real. I'm so paranoid after reading this installment, but I'm also so incredibly informed and I think that's a wonderful thing. Knowledge is power.
A very nicely written book, especially for someone like me who has desperately tried to act like an extrovert the majority of my life. There are some good hints in here for maximizing potential that explained things I did already but explained why I did them. For example, why after socializing for a weekend I feel like I've been hit by a bus. Socializing with people literally sucks the energy right out of me. Some parts did get slightly preachy, and she does speak about introversion and extroversion dynamics as if those are the only two qualities that can harm a relationship, but overall it was a good read. I highly recommend it for anyone who has ever had to defend their right to be alone to their friends.
This book was an epic journey that took me 3 months to conquer, but what a ride! This novel was filled with so many twists and turns. I think it rivals Lord of the Rings just because of the attention to detail that went into this world he created! I am so happy I took the time to read this.
Wow. So much to be said about this installment. I couldn't put this one down and ended up losing a lot of sleep in order to finish it. Overall, I really enjoyed this offering, and am glad that My favorite characters made the cut because there were so many casualties! Martin is really stacking up the body count!
