Helpful Score: 1
This book is quite a fun roller coaster ride, taking the reader back and forth through time and different pasts and futures as Will and Tim get tangled up in an evil plot.
My only problem with this book is the ending. It really seemed to me that after such a wonderfully-written book, Rankin gave up about 10 pages before the end, and left way too many questions in my mind (most of which I won't spoil for you now) and wrote what I felt was a cop-out ending (which, by the way, only lasted for half a page).
I got attracted to Rankin's writing after exhausting (and re-reading) my Terry Pratchett collection; Rankin's "Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse" was my introduction and if these two books so far are any indication, I will enjoy the others I have ordered. Hopefully, though, from the front cover all the way to the back cover.
