It is a slow burn, this isn’t going to be a fast read…but as it got closer to the end the more I couldn’t put it down.  I found myself thinking more and more about the characters… who was the ring leader? How did they go from one problem to the next and make the choices they did? The group or mob mentality was interesting.
