The book is well-written and I throughly enjoyed the characters. It was a long book which I don't mind since it was very enjoyable. The last few chapters I was getting concerned since I knew the ending was soon and I did not read any situations coming up that would develop …more a good ending. The ending was very disappointing in that it was too easy and actually I believe it was allowing the author to do a sequel to this novel. I don't appreciate that possibility due to my time reading this novel. The ending just seemed like a hurried effort and it certainly was not very original to the story. (less)
