This book is an interesting read, it's got intrigue, revenge and is a tale that spans many years.
It follows a schoolboy, Ned, from his first love, through to his adulthood. It wasn't a total pageturner, in that I didn't have to stay up all night to read it, but I did find myself reading "just one more page" before going to sleep.
It's well written, and I didn't find myself having to run off to the dictionary to work out what Stephen is trying to say with this book.
My rating: Good
