"Great book, loved the way the author played back and forth between the chapters with the current and the past.
Did not appreciate the bad four letter words which were used. I know that that type of language was probably used in that setting, but still do not like it."
"Very good reading and would recommend it to my friends. Would also recommend your company to friends as I was very pleased with the condition of the book when it arrived. It was easy to do business with you and I am pleased in my dealings with your company."
