Good writing and the story was interesting. But I would prefer to get an idea of what the main character looked like early on in the story. In about the 2nd chapter I realize his age. I had initially imagined a younger man. It wasn't until the middle of the book I realize he had a beard. And in 49th chapter I realize his height and weight.

I had a hard time keeping the image intended for the main character. I was stuck on the image I had imagined when I first started reading.

Also...I had a hard time picturing the described main character doing the things that he was doing in the story.

But over all, the story kept me entertained through out, from beginning to end.
