Review: I loved this book once I got into it. The action picks up and I really wondered what Brady was going to do with the secret he is keeping. The ending is a surprise and the there is a good moral message!
On a scale from 1 to 5, I give it a 4 because it took a little while to get into it. This book is worth reading for the ending!
