Was just re-reading this thread, you were right on all points there Alia . Currently half way through "In The Ruins" and I must say i'm more comfortable with the whole religion idea now. I'm finding I enjoy this series more and more with every book of it that I read. My reading is taking longer than usual due to me having exams at the moment, but I hope to finish the series sometime very soon.
