This is my favorite book of all time! It will be one of your favorites, too, if you read it correctly. Let the author carry you...don't try to think ahead and figure stuff out. The beauty of this book lies in the journey that you and the unnamed young woman are taking together. If you try to think ahead, you will lose some of the details that make this lushly written and beautiful story work. This book totally sucked me in and I felt something for every one of the characters, whether I liked them or not. When you are done with this book, go on to read Stephen King's "Bag of Bones". It's very different, of course, but he references this book often in his story. I have to agree that some of the story is a bit predictable but some of the most important pieces at the end surprised and touched me.
