I must have missed something here. Judging from the other reviews, am I the only one who found disfavor with this book? While the author can indeed give a tale, however predictable it is, an interesting slant, I found the plot tedious with few if any surprises. Surprises: something I kind of expect when reading this genre. My only surprise was how well all the other reviewers enjoyed this book. Thanks, but I think I'll pass on the other Mark Manning sagas.
