I loved this book and these characters, even though I didn't always like them or what they did.  Excellent storytelling.

I listened to this on audio and I would highly recommend!  There were various accents the narrator took on and it brought the story to life.  
The beginning of this book hooked me right away, it's intense.  It made me wonder where the author was going to take the rest of the story.   I wouldn't say it's a thriller or suspenseful, but the beginning is so capturing that I wanted to see how this cast of characters would develop.  And I'm not afraid to say I almost cried twice, and a book that can make me root for characters and feel for them has a depth that I look for in my reading.
