I enjoyed the book and completed it in two sittings. It was easy to visualize what was happening because the author was so descriptive with setting, scenery, and conversation. I wish there was a bit more closure at the end of the book though. There are certain things you can assume based on the ending, but I would have preferred just one additional chapter to wrap things up.
