Even though I really like this author's writing, I found this particular story boooorrrring. The two main characters are children, (12 and 10) from very upper crust, well-to-do families. Their main occupation is to go to their country club for some kind of sport. It took more than a hundred pages of reading to get into the actual story, because he was introducing the characters and their interactions first. But one of his previous books followed the same pattern, so it is sort of his style. I probably won't be too eager to read another book by him. However, he does give indepth backgrounds to his characters, if you like that sort of thing. D.
