I just finished reading this book last night. If you must know, I started reading this a month ago! It takes time for me to finish a book because I read them in installments while lulling my little one to bed. And there have been several nights when I got busy tinkering with Scarlett and quite a few desk works for my kitchen...
I must say that it's refreshing. I am amazed that I wasn't as bored with this like I was with The Alchemist (I don't remember what I've read nor did I even bother to finish it). Without pretensions, I am not a claimed book enthusiast. I just read whatever book it is thrown my way by my book fairies! Quite frankly I am amazed by most of my friends who know the upcoming books before it hit the shelves.
I am not much of an avid reader of fiction and whatnots. I am a very moody reader just like I am to almost everything that I do in life. It's surprising to have made lasting relationships with friends and with my husband! But yes, my taste in books is let's just say dependent on my book fairies again hahaha!!!
Oh, back to The Devil -- I got disappointed. I don't like it when I can tell what's going to happen in the end. I want to be surprised. This is like watching a movie when I almost always can predict who the killer is and who is going to die next. Grrrr! Perhaps my mind is the same as the authors and screenplays... if only I could write very eloquently. Blah!
And the lesson of the story is, we are all made up of good and evil. Don't we know that by now? =P
