This is a very fine novel and I look forward to reading more of this Authors Work ( )

Very good indeed. I was not sure at first but it builds up very well. It has the real feel of Helsinki and the story becomes gripping. The characters are strong and believable. ( )

I so wanted to enjoy this book, but to be honest it disappointed. No character was developed, I knew as little at the end about the supposed main character as I did at the beginning, and cared even less. And I was hoping it would bring me back to the Helsinki I love, but there too it let me down. It could have been set anywhere, nothing of Helsinki shone through. And the end, the last page, what was that about? Oh dear. I wish i could be more positive, but I can't, sorry. ( )
