I read this book because it is my brother's favorite book. I ended up really liking it too! It's been so cool watching Darrow grow and I feel hisnsame struggle with some of the Golds he's met and knowing what he's ultimately there to do. I'm really interested in how book 2 is going to go. I'm waiting on the audiobook from my library. I was leary of Tim Gerrard at first but he's a great Darrow. I think if I switch to the print book now, it wouldn't be the same.
