review 1: A really well-written book with a very ambitious plot. It delivers well enough after you've dug through the initial confusion of identities and timelines, but ends just as abruptly as each presentation; hence the 4 stars.

Various scenesoften come across as half screenplay, half novel, including akidnapping, which while exciting, feels right out of an NYPDBlue episode. My wife picked this book up in an airport bookstore andit definitely is a story that keeps your interest on anairplane or perhaps as a 'beach read. I enjoyed thisgood ol' page turner. less
