The story is adventurous and great.

Review by: Cat L on Jan. 29, 2011 :
This book is to writing what abstract is to painting.

It has a very weird story with lots of weird characters and there is nothing at all predictable about it.
The writing style is extremely fast paced and chapters short but it flows from one thing to next.

It seems to tie in with Toms other books.
It doesn't really seem to have an ending as such but it was worth a read nonetheless.
