I wonder why you found it error-free when I had listed lots of grammar errors - way back when I reviewed this book. Maybe the book was proofread after that. Just like you, I also enjoyed reading the story in it. I appreciate your thorough review.

I couldn't find any error. I think it was proofread and also, it may have contained slight errors I didn't see because I was so engrossed in reading it. Thanks for your comment

Your insightful review included a lot of interesting elements of the book. You summed up the main themes and characterizations very nicely.

Nicely written review. I wish I would have enjoyed the book more, but that is what’s so great about books because everyone sees something different. I just couldn’t get past the main character and his ego. Then the crime he commits and then not facing up to his punishment just made me not like this one much. Glad to have read your take on it though.

After reading the first part of the book, I felt this way as well but, I knew if I let his ego cloud my judgement for the book, I won't enjoy it at all. More so, I was eager to know what will be the end of him. Thanks for commenting on my review.

I do like Coles' writing style. It would be interesting to see how he tackled an unlikeable character and the path (if there was any) he had towards redemption. Thanks for the review.
