Wonderful read. Went thru it in 3 nights pre-bed reading. I couldn't help but think of the 40's and 50's saturday afternoon movies where the hero at the end of the show on one saturday ends by being thrown off the cliff, and in the start of the next saturday's show the announcer says "escaping from the cliff fall....". Or is being torn to pieces in a burning building by a tiger at the end, the next saturday the announcer says "escaping from the lion and the burning building, our hero goes to town.....or whatever". It seems Gideon is about to die many many times but is saved from left field somewhere. Trying to guess what comes out of left field is part of the fun read this book is. I've ordered the next in the series.
