Such a great read. Of course the characters didn't do what I wanted them to do but they were a lot like real people -- flawed and imperfect, but nearly all trying to do the right thing. The book is full of information I learned for the first time but the narration is never pedantic. Terrific story that is difficult not to read all night long and destroy the next day.
Not your run-of-the-mill novel in any way. I loved this story on many levels.
