The binding of the book (0 more)
I picked up this book solely for the unique binding; I happen to be a bookbinder (around intermediate level, I've made some cool stuff), and I loved the accordion binding. This book isn't long enough to be considered a novel, it's definitely a novella. It's the same story, from two different viewpoints, which I loved. However, the worst part is that it was only a novella, I could have read a long novel about the story and the characters.

So I didn't realise this was set in Australia, it made a nice change from American stories, though the names for some items had me guessing for a short while

I enjoyed the storyline but it also kinda annoyed me in a way. I got a lot of where Tess was coming from with Toby but I don't think I agreed with the Sean bit. It was a change once more from the usual conflict in these sort of stories...But nope. Sorry.

"I’m about to sound like such a nerd. There’s a film I saw in college called Gabbeh. It’s about a Gabbeh — and I didn’t know this until I saw the film — it’s a kind of a carpet. It’s the story of this nomadic family that makes them, and it’s beautiful with all these amazing images — it’s very visual. I loved it and made my boyfriend at the time watch it — it was only like 10 minutes in. I did marry him anyway. [laughs] It’s amazing."

I enjoyed this book. A little slow in some places but overall very good. This one has a different feel and I enjoyed the plot and characters. It was a very interesting read.

A good story about a troublesome yet 'stealthy' Ninja (in a bright orange jump-suit kay?) I did enjoy the first book but I am definitely not keeping up with all the hype.
