This is Hubby’s official favorite book now. I gave this to him for Christmas along with some Ferrero chocolates and surprisingly, he loved it to bits! You see, Hubby is not a book lover so it is a surprise to see him reading a “real” book. LOL! Since he loved this, I’m planning to give him another one – The Hunger Games after he is done reading it.

Of course, I would want to read it to after he’s done. It seems like it is a very nice book after Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code. I cannot even talk to him anymore! Blame it on the book. And when I try to ask him to find some Mopar performance parts he wouldn’t dare put down the book. Oh well, he’s halfway and almost done anyway so I will just let him enjoy my gift.
