It's complete rubbish. Rambling on and on with a very weak storyline. I gave up at page 436. There is nothing there. So a 13 year old kid loses his mother in a nasty bombing in NYC. That happens all the time and is no doubt very traumatic but really?? The author has tried to make a sympathetic story about.... Nothing really and takes over 800 pages to tell us. It just drags on and on and on.
