It does fill in some gaps.  You can read it for free on on the web through July 5. Don&#8217;t worry.  It&#8217;s a relatively short read (about 2-3 hours) because it&#8217;s less than 180 pages.  <\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t intend to finish so quickly when I started reading it on Saturday.  We were waiting for Chad to show up so we can carpool to the Phelpi.  I just wanted to get started.  Several pages into it, I was looking for the end of the chapter so I could use it as my marker.  But then, the story just kept going and going and going.  No end of chapter in sight.  <\/p>\n<p>I even told Brian how I thought the book was weird because I was 100 pages into it and I still hadn&#8217;t hit a chapter.  I kept reading thinking that I&#8217;d eventually hit the end of the chapter and I never got there.  By page 155 I was like, &#8220;What the heck?&#8221;  I finally just stopped and paged forward because I was curious at that point.  &#8220;How many pages does each chapter consist of?&#8221;  That&#8217;s when I realized that I only had 20 pages to go or so.. Might as well finish it.  =P<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"280\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Q1D5goGz0SY&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Q1D5goGz0SY&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>What about you?
