Wow!

'Trenton makes' absolutely blew me away. This might well be my favourite book of the year so far. The plot was shocking and kept me turning the pages one after another right till it was finished. I was totally captivated by this book, the characters were real and well portrayed, the reader could look at each one in many different ways, I myself was fascinated by the main character 'Abe' but at the same time I had no empathy towards him. I believe that this book could one day be a classic, it is timeless, and as the author states at the start of the book, not so unbelievable as not to be true. This book is an expertly crafted read, and I could not rate it more highly, I will be recommending this title to friends, and will be reading more by this author.
