I have heard great things about this book on and off over the years, but there's nothing like a movie preview to make me run and grab a book. First of all, I love the format. I'm a firm believer that format is almost as important as content in a book. This is delivered to the reader as a collection of letters, emails, notes, and much more. It's wonderful. The plot itself... riveting and so enjoyable! The characters are wonderfully done. Semple does something different with details and storytelling that I really enjoyed.
AND Antarctica is involved: hello, my bucketlist!
