Just Okay..
Enjoyed the book but not something I could ever re-read. The story had some good twists and character development but not overly compelling.

Fun book from exciting Australian author
I love Matthew Reilly books. I found myself about an hour and a half from the end when I had to wait over the weekend to finish. I woke up one night wondering how he was going to finish the story.
Good to see him try a female protagonist. The school scenes initially seemed a bit long, but I saw the point as the book went along.
