- My Thoughts:
- A relatively light and easy read, I was expecting this story to be more moving/mature. The ending was underwhelming, but I did enjoy reading this book mainly because of its somewhat outrageous plot, believable and unique characters and the combinations of elements you don’t normally see together, such as a young librairian, a ten-year-old being sent to ‘turn ’em straight’ classes, a kidnapping and the Russian Mafia.
