Disappointed by this book. It seemed anticlimactic and didn't go anywhere in the end. It was an easy read though, so I gave it 2 stars.
I enjoyed this book, but I sort of expected more from the ending. I guess that's where the readers imagination kicks in.
THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK FROM START TO FINISH.I REALLY ENJOYED READING IT.
