"I'm a little disappointed. This book had so much promise but it just ended so funky. <br/>Pendergast is one of my all time favorite characters but he is so dumb sometimes. Everything that occurred towards the end of the book feels off or just plain unwise... These characters are too smart for some of the actions they took. <br/>And since I know there is another book coming I guess that explains how and why it ended the way it did. <br/>i sincerely hope the next book is better."
