I did not want to put this book down. Every book I have read by Cosby has been a hit. Just take a day or weekend and enjoy.

I honestly can't say I liked this book, but then I couldn't put it down either.  I was torn between hoping for a good ending for Bug but realizing that he had done a lot of wrong.
