I picked this up at the airport… I love the writing style and word choice. The plot is intriguing and interesting but the telling falls short. There are several unanswered questions that leave obvious gaping holes in the story and the fact that 4 grown adults are incapable of doing anything useful in this situation is enough to drop the rating below a 3 star. The 3rd star is only because the writer paints lovely pictures with his words…. Even if the picture is stupid.
