The Sheltering Sky

Genre: Fiction
Rating: Good
Last Read: February, 2004

Review:Wow, I'm not really sure how to review this book. It was good, I enjoyed it. But I'm still not sure why. It's not the type of book I would normally read. It had compelling characters and a decent plot. But there was something intangible about this book that made it a delightful read.
