You know what, I finished it last night and the end just ruins it... sooooo ridiculous, though still, it doesnt take away from the first few chapters which are brilliant. unfortunately, its always a bad idea when the author starts off with the best bit of the story at the beginning cos the rest of the book just kinda trails off into sillyness when they try to outdo the greatness of the early sections of the novel.

i dont recommend it that much anymore.
