I wasn't disappointed - this book is a thriller at its heart and you race to find out what is going to happen, but like all good books, the ideas within the book keep popping into your head. The twists in the story are believable but breathtaking - at a few I even chuckled at the way he takes the story and twists and pulls it, like someone wringing out a dishcloth.
