fantastic!

I'm new to thos author but so far absolutely loving it! exciting and entertaining all in one.

Story line was weak

More violence in this book, should have had thoughts of the dog at the end.

The details in the telling of the story

It is always difficult to read about the "Heros" who end up dying in situations like this. They work so hard to do right and then are no more.

Great story. Would be better as a movie.

The only reason this one didn’t get a full five stars is that the reader uses a cheery and/or matter-of-fact voice through the entire book, which trivializes the serious and hard content. I suspect the author didn’t intend to do that. The reader is very good at the acting voice. I hate to give it less than 5 stars, but this book has some serious content, intended to make the reader think and consider serious things, and I just couldn’t hear that.

Tired of religious preaching in book, but lOVE DOG

I enjoy the story, the narration and the dog. Hate the "preaching" tone alot. If I want to go to church I go. In listening to the book, I really don't need it.
