I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I thought with all the hype I would be let down as usual but for once the hype was right. :0)

It’s refreshing to read something that is so deeply based in the Toronto area that you come across sights you know and recognize. It’s a wonderful treat in that sense.
