This book was an okay read for me. The only thing that really kept me reading this book is: wanting to know if Nona was dead or alive. The book alternated between David's story of being obsessed with Nona, and Nona's story. While Nona's story was quite interesting, the author spent a lot of time in David Sands' personal thoughts which became a little redundant after a while. Based on my own personal preference, it took a little time to adjust to the flow of the words and writing style. The author described every little thing. Don't get me wrong... description is good but there is a such thing as being too descriptive (at least for me).
