Did you like that aspect of it?  I mean, do you feel like she did a good job
of portraying a male?  I haven't read this one yet.  Most of the reviews I've
seen on the net portray it as predictable, which doesn't encourage me to buy
it in hardback, and I haven't seen a paperback version yet.  What did ya
think of it.
