This was perhaps the most amazing and inspiring book I've ever read! I really can't even believe it. I just finished the book yeserday and I'm going to reread it again in a few weeks. It really makes you stop and think..... how much do we really know about what makes the world go round?

This book, I believe is the best that he's written so far. the character development in this novel is truley amazing. As I started to know the background and past of each character, people started to die and not die and supposedly die and then they would figure out that that they weren't dead. ...(this section edited to remove 'plot spoiler')....The violence was pretty gory, and as I have read his books I see that he is not afraid to make a women or child die in a gruesome or solemn death. The suspense was fantastic. I was around the page 200 and it was about 10:30 p.m. I reached the end of book at around 2:00 a.m. As I thought about at page 300, I didn't sleep at all.
The action in this novel is truley specatular. The sword fights. The matches. It all was truely magnifescent!!! The story line was the best of all. The suspense was the thing that was in that book the most. I really, really enjoyed reading it. I give this book of wonder a 5 out of 5. He better not stop writing books.

I thought it would've been better if they went into the future instead of back in time.

i have read almost all of his books except this one i really look forward to reading it.i heard it was extremely good judging by the reveiws on this page.one of the reviews states that it goes back in time and that it would be cooler if it went forward in time.i agree completely but it all depends on what you think about history.
