I'm not so sure I'm happy with the way it ended, but I did appreciate that it kept me guessing till the end, I hate books where you already have it figured out 1/4 or 1/2 way in. Really loved the main character Joe, you could really feel his anguish and rage. 4/5 star book IMO.

An ok book but nothing special. It is very disorganized. It seems like someone wrote the basic story line and then as someone else read it, wrote in extra stuff to fill in the plot holes. For instance the main character isnt really introduced untill half way through the book.

Ever since i read life expectancy by Mr. Koontz, i've tried to read EVERYTHING of his. An awesome book (no suprise) with twists and turns.

The plot for this book was quite imaginative. The characters are well defined and are what make the difference in this story. It ws fast paced and exciting and kept me reading. The book did make for a good read even if I was dissatisfied with the ending.
