While the idea for this story is certainly interesting, I found this book to be anti-climactic. The event that the story revolves around happens in the first fifty pages. As the reader continues to read, he does get more details and clarifications about the central event, but I found the first fifty pages to be the most interesting and the rest of the book somewhat lacking in substance. I would not go so far as to call the book disappointing, but I was slightly let down when I got to the end with no satisfactory explanation as to why Mr. Heath did what he did.
