The writing of this book was captive to the thought. I couldn't put the book down. I passed it onto my 2 oldest children, Inez finished it in one day, Ted read it in 3 days...me, I took 7 days to finish it, I was a busy mother at the time I attained it. The location was a plus, I grew up in Los Angles County and familiar with the locations described in the book. Its a Must Read!!!
