... I chose to read this book on a whim as it was a free read from Kindle and I was trying to lessen my exorbitant book-purchase costs...
All I can say is that I was pleasantly surprised, albeit slightly weirded out by some of the creepy content of this book. I enjoyed it from start to finish, and especially...

OH MY GOD! This is excruciatingly bad! This novel has managed to descend to levels of suckness that has never been reached before. This is the Krubera Cave of suckness.
And that is a big disappointment. For this is a thriller that also attempts to deal with the issue of global warning. My own opinions...

| ISBN | 1408805014 |
I really liked the story. I was aware of who Emma Thompson is, of course. I’ve seen the Nanny McPhee movies. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the book.

I'm not entirely sure why I kept reading this book because I really, really didn't like it. (I should learn my lesson - stop downloading free books from Kindle and just stick to the ones that you want to read.) This book was nothing but a book preaching holier-than-thou morals. Christian fiction is fine...
