I read all kinds of books (one of my friends jokes that I will read anything that holds still long enough), but sci fi/fantasy is my favorite. I also love books on anthropology and archaeology and other sciences.
This was a pretty good book. While I could see a couple plot twists coming, it was a good, fun book to read and is at last a break from all the crappy paranormal romance books that seem to be so popular among teens these days.
