[Lenny Husen · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.0, rounding up for personal reasons. This was great. The best novel I have read by someone who isn't a professional writer. Well written, fast-paced, exciting, fun, not predictable. Got into it immediately. Really liked main character Ajay and his growth during the story.
Would like to see this book made into a movie.
Hope author keeps on writing.
