but I feel the need to warn others in this case. I thought the book had a good premise, but the suspension of disbelief required to fill the many plot gaps was too great to bear.

Best book I have read in a long time

This is truly the best book I have read in a long time. I agree with the first review that the editing is poor, but I do not feel it took away from my overall enjoyment of the piece. I have found that authors who choose a child as their narrator often give them an adult voice, but that was not the case here and I really appreciate that. The action and characters kept me interested and I loved the ending. It was a strange and twisted path but I enjoyed taking it.
