A tremendously impressive work, this book sucked me in and was a single-sitting read. I found the prose smooth and easy to follow, the youth of our main character painted just about right to begin with, and the reveals that keep staggering him throughout to be handled well. I had a really good feeling, right from the outset, and whilst it's not perhaps up there with Randoms for one of those YA books that I want to reread as soon as I've finished, it nonetheless gave me a good few hours escape and a delightful take on its concept.
