Can't remember a whole lot except that it held my attention and I finished it up pretty quick. I liked how each faction was quite stylised, and the impossible odds that they (Schofield and his team) are stacked up against, but miraculously manage to overcome, or sometimes, don't overcome. Quite over the top, but that's what I like about his books, non-stop action. Very disappointing. I was so excited to read this, I liked the storyline and it sounded promising. But I don't want to read a movie script and that is how it felt to me. The third book in the adventures of The Scarecrow. If you thought the first two were fast then one is way over the top. Mother still rocks and all I can say is I want a Maghook for Christmas. no reviews | add a review
