OMG. This book was beyond good. It made me cry, smile, laugh and shutter. There were some points when had to put it down, becasue I was more than terrified for the main character, but Mr. Dickey pulled him right back up and had me hooting and hollering. It evoked sympathy and anger. Every emotion in the rainbow came out of me while reading this book. Gideon as far as I'm concered is just one step below perfect. Weird to say, but true. 5hrs 47mins
A real page turner.

I really enjoyed this book. I finished reading the book in about a day or two. From cover to cover this book had me hooked. There were so many cliffhangers in this book and you have to pay attention to what is going on so you can follow along. Eric Jerome Dickey has done it once again and I just love the way he wrote this book. Definitely recommend this book to all my friends.
