But he himself is a likable character and his story is riveting. At all times, the protagonist inhabits a violent world. One warning: this book is dark - much darker than Harry Potter, which at least has a strong redemptive message. The hints were there all along and the pieces fit together perfectly! Of course, you don’t quite get the whole picture until the very end, and then, just like with the Harry Potter series, when you look back at those earlier scenes, you can’t help but be awed at the author’s brilliance. From there you have to piece the whole thing together. You get a letter dated 1952, a narrative beginning in the 1990’s, and a journal of sorts from World War II. It’s a time travel book that’s also a mystery since the story isn’t given to you contiguously. Now that I’ve read the book, I completely agree with his assessment. My teenage son called this book “awesome,” and when he says that about something that isn’t a computer game, I’m instantly intrigued.
