Great plot, full of surprises! You will not find this a predictable book, yet it all works out logically. No contrivance. No red herrings, and no cliches.And the author has such an authentic voice. This is so unusual. In the first few pages, the author talks about religion a bit too much for my taste, but I kept on reading because of that voice -- and was so rewarded. He is among the enchanted, an infectious quality.
