Better than some, but not up to Massie's usual standards. It felt as if the author were trying to hurry up and get everything jammed in. It was more of a draft, needing more development, instead of being a finished book.
Something to read when nothing else is available, but that's about it.

The suspense buildup was enough that I knew the climax of the story would probably be a let down. It certainly didn't go the way I thought it would. It ended well, and for awhile I feared it wouldn't, so that was nice. It wasn't as scary as the story summary would have you think. Overall, an entertaining story and worth checking out.
