After hearing my friends rave about Clark's books, I decided to pick up this book to see what all the fuss was about. Unfortunately, it was pretty much what I suspected. The characters were shallow and one-sided and the story was sappy. I didn't bother finishing it. I guess it's alright if you're looking for a quick read and want to turn your brain off.
