Three-quarters of this book were AMAZING. Thought-provoking and unique and then the author just sort of ends the book with a whimper and not a bang. There were a lot of unanswered questions (tell me more about Kevin's journey!) and I felt that such a well-written book deserved a much better ending. That said, I think I've found a new (to me) author!
