I really enjoyed reading this book.  The characters are amusing and the story is captivating.  It moves along at a brisk pace and all the questions are tied up by the end.  It is the perfect book for when you want a good relaxing read that doesn't require too much thinking on your part.  I give this book a solid 4 stars.  Although it's not a blockbuster, it does the job it was called to do quite well.
