Reviews

I didn't think this book was bad really, but bland in some places where it really counted. I didn't care for Henry's story but simply liked him best when he accompanied Alex and didn't try to steal the spotlight. I felt rather indifferent when I read this but though some of the points were really important, while the portrayal of other things, while handled true to the situation, we're not necessary.
