The clues, the characters, the humour, the adventure, the search for Bob, the international travelling, the conclusion – the suspense of what was going to happen next – very filmic. I constantly imagined Tom as an anti-heroic Robert Langdon of Da Vinci Code who uses Google/Wiki to solve the clues! Scott Alexander Jones, author and Black Lawrence Press's featured poet for National Poetry Month- "You have written a page turner!"Critic’s Report, The BookLife Prize of PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY- "Higly imaginative" - "Crisp phrasing and clear momentum"- "The author puts a fresh spin on the canonical quest novel, introducing a revolving cast of peculiar characters and more peculiar circumstances"
