Highly recommended! I borrowed this from the library and was about halfway through when one of the discs failed! I called every place I could think to get my hands on another copy - Blockbuster, Barnes and Noble, Borders - to no avail. I was so enthralled with the story that I ended up downloading the book online through Project Gutenberg. I then imported the text file into my Mobipocket ebook software and actually read the book on the computer. The next day, I drove to another library and rented the VHS because I couldn't wait two more days for my B&N order to arrive through the mail.
