What keeps you reading is the characters.You want to get to know them,you come to care about them.
I have seen some negatives reviews,bemoaning the lack of real action,that it's mundane,but what I see is a young man and his friends striving to suceed in a world full of injustices,that want nothing more than them to fail. |
