Eventually he seated himself on a patch of greening grass with a convenient tree to lean against and enjoyed the soft breeze and the peaceful surroundings while he absently whittled on a twig he had picked up. He felt sleepy. Probably he dozed off.
Then came a tremendous jerk, like having a chair pulled from under him at the same instant that a truck hit him, and he almost lost consciousness. He landed with a painful bump and skidded for a short distance along a very rough wood floor. For a moment he sat gazing about him dazedly.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wonderful premise, excellent storytelling, great characters, and good writing. However, the nail biting ending was slightly dissatisfying. In particular, one of the most interesting character relationships was never really wrapped up. That said, this is an engrossing tale.
