Ah, I read this book years ago for a book club competition in high school!
It's not a book I would've picked up but I enjoyed reading it nonetheless. I appreciated the writing and I found it an easy read. I did like that the author included a character who seems somewhat on the ASD spectrum but I seem to remember not liking the fact that there weren't any particularly memorable female characters apart from one, Piper.
Even though I enjoyed it, I haven't picked up any of Reilly's writing since, and I just feel like he writes books that don't seem to grab me as much. While I enjoy reading them, I never really go for them if I'm in a bookshop.
But that's just me!

What a fantastic feel good story!! Wonderful storyline, wonderful characters. Typical Matthew Reilly insane action with everything working out perfectly in the end. Good for ALL ages, if you don't mind just a little bit of cussing. HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a story with heart and soul.
