I often hear books called "page turners" but I really need a stronger description for this book. I am usually a very "responsible reader" only reading during my work-day breaks and after all my work is finished at night. But from the instant I opened this book, I had to argue with myself to stop reading, my lunch hour turned into two hours. Finally, I took a day off from work to finish it - I could NOT concentrate on my work, I just HAD to get back to the book.I have recommended this book to everyone I know and I plan to continue doing so. The book is extremely well crafted. And, as another reviewer said, it just keeps dishing out unexpected twists. The location descriptions make me (a claustrophobic and serious chicken) want to go underground!The beautifully painted scenes in Cave are truly worthy of being called literature and the story is strong and compelling. Try it, you won't be sorry!
