3.5 Stars A Good Read
A good read on the whole, but there are just way to many characters in many different countries to keep track of who is who.

I found this story a bit hard to follow because of all the different characters. They all had their own interesting stories and it kept me going. However, I often found myself confused as to who was who and married who ? etc. Still, an interesting read.
