"The first 3/4 of the book were just ok. Probably a 3 star. But it picked up enough at the end and I was rooting for the protagonist so much it bumped up to a 4 star. Overall the plots points were a bit predictable but it was well-written and an enjoyable read."

"I give this book a standing ovation! There was definitely some kitschy stuff, but it did not diminish the overall greatness of the writing. In the vein of To Kill a Mockingbird, it was a great story with great characters - one I'll want my kids to read. "
