Great story, pace and characters, but didn't enjoy the writing at all. Too explicit and explanatory. Also random, details just come and are left to hang in the air - e.g. the introduction of brother Graham, who I felt is only mentioned, so there can be a book about him at a later stage. Anyways, the book did capture my attention. The miscommunication pained at times, but fitted well with the story. I kept reading to see how Simon will grow out of his naivety. I think the story organisation worked well in this point.
