Okay - the ending - what!!!!!

The book is a page turner, well paced and the characters are well drawn. I enjoyed seeing them mature through the pages, and though it's inevitable what happens between the two, I have to say the ending blew me away. Not what I was expecting but the most authentic ending that Blackman could have devised.

Really enjoyable and one that will continue to haunt me until I can track down the next book. ...more

What I love about this story is that it was not narrow minded to only one point of view. It shows us racism is stupid either way. Like in the past the people fighting against segration or any law the violated civil rights werent only of one color but of many and we banded together by not the black or white race but the human race.
