I read to escape, the more detail the better...I'm an information junkie.  I also love a story—whether TV show, movie, or book—that gets in my veins and under my skin.  Not many do.  IN THE DARK OF THE SUN is one of those rare books.  I lingered over the lovely and descriptive passages, often going back to reread them for the pictures and/or feelings they evoke.  One minute I was savoring this beauty and then the next thing I knew, I was gripping my chair and flinching at non-existent sounds.  This is THAT kind of book.   I was enthralled, captivated, romanced, and tortured.  I felt sweaty, crawly—several times I was sure a spider had dropped down into my blouse—and scared nearly sleepless.  I also laughed harder than I have from any book in a long time.

One of the most exceptional books I have ever read.  You took me there, you put me in the heads of the characters, in their bodies, in the places the story goes.  I am an impatient reader…when I go to the bookstore, I am always picking up books, reading the backs and then rifling through the pages.  With this, I could not bear to go on to the next page, and yet my pulse was racing.  As a guy, I am not much for details—I want to get on with it—but I have to admit, I found myself marveling at the most minute things.  I read it the first time going full-throttle; then I had to read it again because it was just so damn good.
