It not unusual for it to take a little bit of time before a book grabs my full attention. However, this book quickly pulls you into the story of a brave refugee from Nigeria who makes a daring escape to England. This was a book that was hard to put down. Unfortunately, the ending was a let-down. With 15 or 20 pages left, I wondered how the author could wrap up all of the loose end and by the time I finished the book, I found he sadly did not. It’s as if the last 50 pages were missing. All in all, I liked the book, but if this was a movie, I’m sure the audience would feel let down when they left the theatre. Was he trying to leave room for a sequel? He gets you to care very, very much for his characters, but then he just abandons them at the side of the road. It’s a shame because it was such a good book until the last part. Was he on deadline?

I was actually disappointed with this book. Perhaps my expectations were too lofty. To me, the end was too rushed, and almost unbelievable. The details and character development (and motivation) in the beginning of the book are rich and meaningful. Most of this disappears by the last few chapters.

Keeps you on the edge of your seat. Quickly you become concerned for each character and all the surprising turns of events.
