My 10 y/o son has had the worst time with reading. Each time we start a book, he fizzels out - or the book does. We are more than 1/2 way through and he is asking for more books by Docherty. THis book holds his interest like no other - Thank you Jimmy!

I am really enjoying this book, its gripping and interesting. Recommend it for anyone who likes a easy funny and enjoyable read.

Definitely 4/5 stars
