This book was a bit slow to get in to. By the last third, I couldn't put it down!

The story is about a group of terrorists who take a group hostage. The author does a good job of relating the monotony of days and hours going by waiting to be saved. But then the lines between hostages and terrorists start to blur. By the end, they are a group of people unable to figure out how to get out of this situation.

It is a good book.
