Review: started off good but kind of fizzled; still worth the read

The book was pretty good but it sort of fizzled toward the end - it would be have been better to have shortened it up. About halfway through, I thought, what's next? Some of the things towards the end were mostly unnecessary to the story. Also, I liked that Knox was kind of a jerk at the beginning. By the end, he was almost neutered somewhat. Charlie, too, started off a little more edgy. I wish they had kept some of the edge but I think that's part of the book being too long. I also wish that his brother Cohen had stayed around or been more involved in it.Plus, I liked all the references to the Vols and Bama, etc. I grew up in Tennessee, and it's kind of fun to read books set there or with regional cultural references. I'm looking forward to Kale's story and will probably go back and read Jace''s.
