Execution is Excelence

When I read this book, it was spectacular. You could really tell what the characters where thinking and how they felt about the events of the book. At the end of the book I truley felt for these characters. That is what made this book spectacular. This is great writing and the best I have read in awhile. All I will tell you is that the ending is worth the book. I won't say anymore because I don't want to spoil this great ending for any of you out there who would like to buy this great book. In my opinion this book is a must buy.
