Format:Paperback
I started this book three times. I think you need some quality time to get into it. Once I had got to the third chapter I couldn't put it down. It has everything you could wish for in a good read. The emotions throughout the book were powerful, you really felt every character was alive and at times you can imagine very vividly being in the different places.

Having read previous Nicholas Evans books and especially loving 'The Loop', i was really looking forward to reading this book. However, i found the book did not live up to my expectations and was bit of a disappointment.
The first ten chapters where Nicholas Evans establishes the characters are great but the rest of the book i found the be slow and in some ways slightly repeative.
However, if you are a fan of Nicholas Evans do read the book, if not and are thinking about buying one of his book, buy 'The Loop'.

I loved this book and all of Nicholas Evans books. He has a wonderful way with words, and a true art as a story teller. Read more

Good at the start...
This is the third book I have read from Nicholas Evans and by far the weakest. While in the Loop and The Horse Whisperer Evans concentrates on one or two main subjects, this time... Read more

Appalling
This was one of the worst books I've ever read. It's cram full of the most trivial and cliched text I've ever come across. Read more

One not to miss
An unmissable book. Written in a very easy to understand style yet very complex. A unique way of writing 2 books in one. Read more

The beginning of this book was very interesting and intriguing. I read through(the first half) very quickly. The characters were perfectly matched for this story. Read more
