Pros: A fun lite read. A page turner
Cons: None

This book is a must read for anyone. Fist off, its a classic. Second, its a page turner. The kind of book you could read in a day or two. The story keeps you turning the page, the author does not keep you hanging, he foreshadows in one sentence, and in the next, you know what happened. The chapters end wanting you to start the next one. Exactly what a good book should do.
