I loved this book! Loved it wholeheartedly and with devotion. I might have to read it again. When I saw the title of your post I got all delighted that someone else had read it.

I adore Saracen. What a goose.

Saracen is such a good name for a goose. :)

I'm glad you all had as good a time with this book as I did. I can understand wanting to give out copies of it. :)
