I absolutely LOVED this, shocking twist, brilliant
This was a hard book to get into at first as there are many characters involved in the story and each and every one is introduced along the way as you'd expect, but oh my goodness, when everything kicks into gear it really lets rip and there's a really stonking twist which left me shell shocked. I really loved this book and will definitely look to try more by Scott Kershaw in the future.
The narrator was great too, But one .com reviewer did not like his attempts at American accents and if you happen to be from Minnesota you might agree, or from New York in fact, but it's a British book, narrated by a British narrator and I think he does a fabulous job, the only way to improve on this would have been a full cast to play the individual characters which not everyone likes anyway.

best book ever
This was a face paced book from the first page to the last. The detailed back story of every character was perfect. This is now my favourite book of all time. I need a movie adaption and one that does this book justice.

Ending fizzled out
Last part of the story was unfortunately anticlimactic.
Narration was good though.
I wouldn’t recommend.
