Overall an incredible nail-biting book. A couple stories fell short or maybe I just didn't connect to them like the others. The sequel to this book is also amazing, and I think actually a bit better. Hope there's more to come!

My only gripe about this book, is now I am highly anticipating the next one! Absolutely delivers, you know when nearly 6 hours flys, you're highly entertained, and hearing some incredible stories. Buy this!!!
