This is a book I really enjoyed because of the discriptive words used to explain what is happening are used in a very good way. I also liked the twisted situations that the characters get into. The only thing that I didn't like about this book is that the scenes and actions are always impling what will happen next, but they still let you understand the book.-- Juaquin Martinez.
