In some ways, YMOYL is difficult to categorize.

Even for me, it wasn't difficult to discern: This book was something special. ![]() ![]() Rest assured that once I was ten or twelve pages into YMOYL, I knew I was in for a remarkable read.

This is the last book I have read in this wonderful series (the series consists of six books, although the last ones are in fact companion novels mostly). I'd had enough surprises in the last few months to know that you don't always find the answers you're looking for without finding about fifty unwanted ones first. ![]() |
