Eric Beetner is really good at establishing a premise and then setting it in motion -- at high speed.There's a lot more going for this book, though. There are engaging characters on both sides of the ledger: for a hitman, it's remarkable how much sympathy Lars generates. Shaine is an entirely believable teenage girl. Trent is the best obnoxious jerk (supply your own stronger words) that I've encountered in a long time. That's by no means all.Plus, the dialogue and many other images show a great sense of sly humor.
