Review: Great End that Creeps Up on You
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 2, 2013
On the face of it, this book kinda creeps up on you. There are two main story lines that cross with each other a little bit, separate, one concludes and the other takes you all the way to the end. The pacing of these appear gentle compared with some "rollercoaster" books but it is a skill of the author that the attention is kept throughout the book without the need for any theatrics!The characters are great, real and well fleshed out. You really do care about some and loathe others and change your mind about some several times through the book.There were some times during the book where I admit to being a bit confused about where we were going, but it all tied up nicely so I really didn't need to have fretted!The end... well, I never really saw that coming! I also, despite what I said earlier about the gentle pacing, suddenly realised through the last few scenes that I was actually holding my breath!With the main characters doing the jobs they do, I wonder if we will hear more from them in the future... Hope so.
