Like many books I've enjoyed recently, there are dueling narrators in this story, which adds a great deal of interest. Unlike most stories, I found myself enjoying both of the narrative voices in this book. 
 The general story is fairly dark but lightens considerably by the end. Most of the story is of high interest, so my star deduction comes from the events at the end of the story. The ending is a bit too pat, but I did like the book all the same.
