this is not the book i expected, going into the story. but i was captivated by all four povs we followed thru the book. i don't really know what i was hoping for, but this book gave me more, between claudia's career and family life, between anthony and timmy, and victor — the bad guys got what was due them, and the good guys did too, and in the end i'm not sure anyone got what they wanted, or what they deserved. much like life. or something? im still perplexed.
