Helpful Score: 3

An extraordinarily entertaining book written as if from an historical perspective (I loved the footnotes!). The ending begs for a sequel - but it also begs for a rewrite. After such a highly absorbing and well written story, the ending the ending is as unsatisfying and empty as the rest of the story is imaginative and full. As long as you don't expect a stunning and fulfilling ending, you will find this one of the best reads of the year.
