★★★★✩ I went up to the attic to find this one for a challenge. The “re-read” of this one was not as “hot” as the first time I read it; I guess I’ve become a bit jaded (I can remember re-reading” certain parts back in the day). It is a bit “dated” – especially with regards to technology and Justin’s lab. Still, it was a very fast read, has a fun “shotgun-wedding” scene, holds up for the most part, has a bit of a mystery to it, and it was fun to go down memory lane. Certainly makes me want to track down a few more by this author I used to seek out.
