I didn’t know what to expect from this book as soon as I saw its cover but something about it really grabbed me and I didn't hesitate to give it a chance. And that’s what I got, something I didn’t expect. Every assumption I had about the story or hunch about the characters turned out to be wrong. This is due to the great storytelling power of the author; truly, his innate talent can be seen in every single page. This fictional story is excellently narrated and besides being an exceptional way to kill time, it leaves us with a very powerful teaching and something to reflect on as we read.
