The last paragraph of the book particularly struck me because it looks at how history is shaped. I'm definitely interested in the next two books so will probably read them eventually.<br /><br />@irisonbooks: Sometimes a normal review just doesn't feel right, particularly with modern classics. I'm glad this "nonnormal" one was helpful for you and hope you enjoy the book!Lisa C.
