Not the best work by this author. The narrative flows well and involves you in a great mystery plot. The mystery just keeps on growing and growing. When it comes to resolution, you find yourself not entirely sure what the point was.

This book can make you think though, although maybe it is better to enjoy it and move on to the next one from this great author. (

It is everything a good young adult book should be, it is both intelligent and complex, and treats the reader as if they are too.
