Well, I must say that I was a little disappointed after finishing this book. I read Barclay's two most recent novels and I was fully prepared to be blown away by this _Home Alone_-like premise and Barclay's signature wit and humour. And while the premise was excellent, its execution was more predictable that I had imagined. It was, in a word, disappointing. His other books had much stronger P.O.V.s and plots. This one really reminded me of a violent book version of the comedy _Eulogy_. I already purchased his Zack Walker series and I sincerely hope that they are more impressive than this one. It is so rare to go backwards in a writer's career and be so disappointed...
