This is a very fast-moving, twisted plot with plenty of action, some good humor, and very impressive prose where it counts. It was hard to put down.  Even the villains are likeable and placing a Star Wars story in the context of a hard core drug bust gave it a gritty edge that always serves the mythos well. This is one of the good ones.

I had a hard time putting down once I began reading.  Many publications tell the story of survival of urban families.  This book tells the story of survival and success of a african-american rural family.  The writing was so mesmerizing that I was able to visualize each event in the life of the Kearney family.

Hard to put down. Makes the case that the human spirit will survive the toughest odds and that there is always hope. Good read.

I found this book hard to put down. It is a story that really needed to be told, documenting what those who actually first responded actually experienced. I really appreciate what they did.

Couldn't put it down.  Could be, though, that it is relevant. One of my sons is planning to walk it next year.

It was hard to put down.  It is engaging and well written.  It is an interesting perspective WWII on self preservation and small acts of resistance during a very disturbing part of history.

This book took longer than others its length to finish simply because there was so much packed into it.  Readers can become part of a very real CMERI web site study from the pages of this story.  This exercise reinforces the reality of this threat.  The characters are developing and the time taken in the text to build their humanity is important in order to later compare them to  the inhumanity which inevitably arrives.  I guess that will happen in the sequel.  Crashing planes and warm beer are definitely the stuff of horrific thrillers, but I bet the author has more up his sleeve in book two.  That being said  bring it on.

It was given to me by a friend.  I in turn gave it to 3 friends.  It's hard to put down once you start it.

It was a hard book to put down. It was a hard book not to put down. Chapter by chapter I saw the people I knew. People I could have grown up with, people my parents could have known, people who had secrets. Not all secrets are bad or bad. Some are private. This is a book of people, private secrets, and a mystery. This is a book to read and enjoy, a well crafted story.

Riveting. But a little difficult to keep track of all the characters. Otherwise, the story was fascinating.
