Wow, I love this book! Well written, enough humor to ease the subject matter and complex characters that hooked me in. The plot is different than the typical thriller which was really refreshing. Definitely worth the read!
The story definitely has potential. The writing style was a bit immature for my taste and there were a few holes in the plot and a few over the top events but still an over all enjoyable book.
