Lots of action and plot twists in a narrative that would be perfectly suited to the big screen. Suspense, dilemmas, a little romance, it's a good read with some nice fluctuations of pace.
What I didn't get out of this was an emotional connection to the characters, but that could well be an individual reader experience.
A modern book dealing with some very human concepts and nature. ( )
