Commentary: I would have to say that I love every thing in this book. There was nothing I would do to improve it. I like this book because of all the action such as snow mobile chases, machine gun fights, and unarmed combat.
Overall Rating: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Comments: I would say that this book is more leaned towards boys. If you do not like action and death I would not recommend this book to you.
