That book helped me love reading, because before then, reading was kind of like something you did when you had to do it. But that book, it like grabbed me and pulled me and I just kept reading and kept reading.

Good for you. I read both of the first books in one weekend, I liked them so much, now I wish I had waited for a definite release date on the final book. I am not patient about these things.
I think he kind of grows on you, but I never had super-strong feeling about him. I did about most of the side characters, though.

Thanks for the heads up though I was planning on starting the second book after I finish the first.. Now I'm probably going to wait I hate not knowing when the next book of a series is coming out.
