I liked the first half or so of the book and didn't hate the last part. I am like several others in feeling the story would have been better with more back story on the other main characters. I didn't have quite as much trouble as some did believing in a 14yr old able to sort of figuring things out. As a parent of someone with autism/aspergers, I've seen how some kids are able to see a bigger picture and figure out things that would baffle most adults. I can sort of accept him being identified as a leader, since he was able to survive against heavy odds, because of his intelligence and his explanation based on the hieroglyphs/drawing he recreated from memory. That would impress a number of people looking for answers. I enjoyed the book but I do feel the story could have had a bit more depth as well as a few more answers.
