It's very good, like Treasure Island with a modern twist. For me, I bought Stieg Larsson's three books. I haven't started reading one yet but DH says they are very good.

Our book club starts this Thursday for 2010 - 2011. I'm also in a Murder and Mayhem group (mysteries) and another group consisting of friends that use "book club" as an excuse to get together and have a few glasses of wine, eat and chat. Each of the three groups set out the choices for the year at the first meeting.
I'm going to have a long reading list by the end of next week :!:
