This definitely wasn’t a great book, but it was good enough to keep me reading to find out what happens next. The characters were enjoyable and the plot kept moving (indeed moving so much that at times it was hard to follow who was doing what and why). I also found it difficult to side with the “good guys” in a lot of instances, because they seemed to act more disreputably than the bad guys. Overall it is an entertaining read, but far from a classic.
