"A natural storyteller. He will go far."
 What A Twist, Again What A Twist, September 18, 2005
I flicked through this book and thought it was just another rambling mystery, but BOY was I WRONG. I'm glad I took a chance and read it. This is a real winner. And I love the inner meaning of the title. On a side note, if you're a Freemason I think you'll find this novel very interesting. I'm really not sure what to write here. The whole story is first class. It manages to take you through a journey that could be potentially very confusing very easily and without all the boring bits. If you love a good mystery with added laughter and you can handle a little upsetting grief, you will love this book.

Great Debut Novel., July 18, 2005
This is a remarkable book. The story has everything a reader could want and a whole lot more. It was a pleasure to be able to read a novel that didn't pick and choose from other writers. Although I'm not sure what it is, there is a certain something about this book that made me want to read it again. I was intrigued by the twisted plot and the constant snippets of clues that lingered throughout the entire story. This is by no means a straight forward novel. The fine detail that have been sewn into this work has been expertly performed. The author has provided a clear view of what he intended, although the majority of the visible content has been described in such a way as to provoke the reader to see the landscape through their own eyes. This lack of description in some areas is also vital for an important issue within the story. When you've read this novel I'm sure you'll see what I mean. As a debut novel, this book is remarkable and well carried off.
