    Wow - great fodder here for book clubs!
    This book is sure to be a hit with book clubs - so many ethical issues to debate. I found myself changing my mind more than once about certain characters during the course of the book. The letter exchange format is something I find enjoyable, and also enjoyed the author's many plot twists (a bit too many, perhaps, at the end of the book). I wish we could use half stars in our reviews - I'd up my review to 3 1/2 stars. Unfortunately, I found the characters, themselves, not at all interesting, and the language the author used also lacked any poetry - just straight reportage, in my opinion. I did find the book rather enjoyable, nonetheless, as I'm sure many others will also.
