*** 3 stars
I've been reading this book for a long time! Not the fault of the book; I am not devoting much time to reading lately. I hope to correct that with a mad book binge over a holiday weekend.
I liked, not loved, this book by a first time author. The cover praise is quite extensive and may have slightly oversold the book. It's a good read and an interesting character study but I didn't feel it contained many surprises. (I hate to say too much to disclose what the nature of a surprise or surprises might be......)
I liked the back and forth in time construction; although I'm not sure all the parallels between the child Daniel and the child Sebastian were particularly well-formed. It was interesting and kept me reading (off and on!)
