I am also reading this book (the same version). I am in page 168 of 1141, so I still have a long way to go. Until this point I am enjoying it.

Maybe we can discuss it when we are done with it.

Yeah, that'd be cool. Maybe someone should start a "book club" thread at some point. I'm a slow reader - after two months (?) I'm at around page 600 right now - so who knows when I'll get to it.

I really want to check out the miniseries and comic adaption afterward. It's kind of cool that I've never seen the former or read the latter, so I didn't go in with a preconceived notion of how the book's characters should look or sound (though a friend did tell me some of the cast members after I started the book, so I can't help but "see" them sometimes when I read; I made him stop after the initial disclosure). That's usually not the case when I tackle a book after an adaption's been released.

I have. I thought it started out really good, then the kid went into the fantasy world and at first it was too much like a video game and I almost quit reading it. Luckily after a bit it broke away from that and it ended up being pretty good (which is why I got this one).

How was this? I haven't read anything by Lippman yet, but after I finished Freedom, I plan to start I'd Know You Anywhere.

I enjoyed it. It was the first Tess Monaghan book to be set outside of Baltimore. This one takes place in San Antonio.
