the final hour

While this book contained more action than I usually read, and sometimes required quite an imagination, I did enjoy reading this book. The story moved quickly, and the author, Andrew Klavan, writes the scenes in such a way I felt as if I was there. While some of the story was a bit far-fetched, it was entertaining. My pre-teen and teenage daughters also read this book and enjoyed it as well. I was confident in allowing my pre-teen to read this book, as the story had a positive message and the language and story line were appropriate.
