A beautifully written book that unfortunately got me quite angry about the children's situation. The author's writing is wonderfully descriptive, I felt like I was sitting there with them. But, while it is a story of their survival despite....I was very angry at the different agencies that "failed" these children.

I was a little disappointed in this book (the third of his books). I felt like it became more of "rambling" than a story. I think the first of his books (The Invisible Wall) was by far the best!

Enoyable, easy read.
From the back cover... If he had been just another married man, and she a beautiful woman...it would have been just a passionate affair. But he was the President. Once in a century, a great - and dangerous - love can change the course of history. This was such a love.

It's 1985 and Brian Jackson has arrived at university with a burning ambition, to make it onto TV's foremost general knowledge quiz. But no sooner has he embarked on 'The Challenge' than he finds himself falling hopelessly in love with his teammate, the beautiful and charismatic would-be actress Alice Harbinson. When Alice fails to fall for his slightly over-eager charms, Brian comes up with a foolproof plan to capture her heart once and for all. He's going to win the game, at any cost, because, after all, everyone knows that what a woman really wants from a man is a comprehensive grasp of general knowledge.
