I thought the book was very engaging! I was hooked from the very first page. During one of the main scenes in the book, it was very visual! I could feel myself getting swept up in the action and could picture what was going on! I was caught up in the action, running, ducking and dodging with the main character, as if I were running for my life! The trial was interesting as well. This scene was also very descriptive, giving you an inside-look at what goes on in a trial! I would recommend this book to many who enjoys reading and loves to "feel as if you are one of the characters in the book". You will also get a better understanding of the character, his upbringing, as well as his mother's upbringing. You will laugh, cry, get angry, but most of all, you will enjoy the ride!
