I enjoyed reading this book, the twists and turns and the characters. Will look for more books from this author.

I was disappoointed with most of this book. From early on I had my doubts about it, but I hoped with each page I turned that it would get better (and some pages were better than others,). There are inconsistencies in the book as to whether Gordon was in a coma, "almost two years", "almost three years" and I believe once it indicates that he was in a coma for four years. SPOILER ALERT: The title of the book implies something that never happens. The book ends as if there may be a sequel as the story after 318 pages, left more questions than answers.
