It was an enticing story, but I did reach the end and think, "so what?"
The story was good; I sped through it, wanting to know what would happen. I was also trying to discern the morals and thoughts of Jeff as he progressed along his journey - but I did see the ending coming.
I'm not really sure of the relevance that Jeff's story is told to an old college mate at an airport? Literally, the story could have missed all that out without losing anything. Plus, we never actually find out his name, which for some reason irked me. The story around Mr "No Name" seemed weak too - like it was thrown in as an afterthought.
I did enjoy the bulk of the story, looking into deception, beliefs, and opportunity, but felt a little short changed by the end of it all. However, I would like to read other works by Antoine.
*I received a complimentary copy of the book from Readers First and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
