Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a story with a deep subplot of how people react to devastating lose in their lives and how it affects future decision making.Roy is a perfect example of guy with the world by the tail until unexpected devastation rocks his world and he escapes to his dreams.I totally got the main character Roy he is a very complex and well written character. The dreams become in my opine his way of healing.It is also the way the writer communicates the subtext of the story line and I love a little subtext with my story line.Impressive would be an understatement to describe the layers of character author Greg Ness layered into Roy. The end result is the subtle portrayal of a man. Who is isolated and searching for some meaning to the events that changed his life.It was an unexpected surprise to read such a diverse and engaging plot first of all I have never read such a great blending of modern day and history merging.Done with the same gentle and powerful strokes put into the entire book. The plot boarders on genius with an irreverent slant that delighted me.He also managed to artfully move the story ahead twenty years no easy task and I am pleased to report he has forgone the simple flash back method usually seen by Indie author and actually wrote the story amazing.I was very impressed and noted that there would be more of this story to come I'm in so I'm giving it a five.
