My oldest read it in less than 24 hours, then promptly went out and bought the second. He finished that quick, handed it to me and said "Read it fast so we can talk about it!"

I'm not real big on the graphic details of war though so I'm still on the fence about reading this series.<br /><br />I'm very intrigued by the premise of <i>Fallen</i> and <i>Torment</i> and those covers are beyond gorgeous!
