This book was much like Tom Hazard's life, longer than it should've been. It felt very context heavy, I would say the actual plot only spanned about 1/3 of the book. It could've been so much more condensed and said exactly the same thing. Most of the chapters were just fluff. The actual plot was ok.
I've never been a fan of stories that tell you in a sentence at the end the thought or moral you're meant to be taking away from the book, and this does just that. It kind of felt like the moral came first and the plot came second.
It wasn't a bad book. It was just fine.
