Started off exceptionally well - I am in my seventies and read a lot. Two thirds of the way through and I would have to say it was equal to or better than any other biok I have read in my life . I noted with some consternation that despite this it wasn't featuring in the best book category and devoid of rave reviews . A friend picked up a copy in second hand store for 15 bucks and suggested I read it - it had done the rounds snd I noticed the pages tattered and creased up until two thirds of the book and the remainder looked pristine . Now I know why - what a travesty . To go into the supernatural Armageddon type nonsense was nothing but trickery . A total let down .
