It was really easy to read, well written and had a great pace. I thought it could have been more though, there was something that I can't quite put my finger on that I would have liked it to have. But I'm just being nit picky so excuse my ignorance. I really liked all the characters, but I think that was because I actually didn't know that much about them. that's it it needed a little more character development, the ending i know said Alton would stop letting people push him around but a single sentence/paragraph isn't enough after 300 pages of other stuff. overall I liked, probably one of the faster and less intense reads I've had recently.
