Honestly one of the best things I've read in a long time. Is it maybe a bit predictable? Yes, but this book is proof that just because something can be predictable it doesn't mean it can't be fun.

I would have liked to have gotten to know the protagonists that weren't Billie more.

Also I'm still confused as to why Helen missed that shot in New Orleans and I don't think it was explained? I could be wrong but it still bugs me slightly.
