[richjj · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Good reading, but an unexplained convenient death and a bit too much forgiving.

This book gives me.no joy I think the writer wanted to shack to readers because everything is overly exaggerated and unbelievable the characters are weak and the bad guys are overly done the story is full of repetitive sentences I was not surprised about anything in this book I don't really like the writing it's too wordy the narrator was ok
