Suspenseful to the end

Towards the beginning of the book I found a couple of typographical errors which suggested sloppy editing (typical of a cheap publisher) and I wondered if the whole thing, though engrossing thus far, would prove to be more "get it out as quickly as possible" junk that I've seen so much of. Not so! The rest of the book was free of obvious errors, the plot well-considered, and it was a genuine pleasure to read. The book is not terribly long, but as you are finishing it you realize that it's not as short as you thought it was by just looking at it, either. The author maintains chronological order throughout most of the book but conceals some events until the end in order to maintain suspense. (A cheap trick, but it works well). I particularly liked the fact that the book was "clean". No profanity, sexual material or graphic violence that would make me hesitate to leave it laying around my house. Nevertheless, the characters and the plot were believable, and the reader doesn't feel like he's watching "Sesame Street". Overall, I'd say it's a triumph for a virtually unknown author, and a worthy read for anyone with a taste for adventure.
