This book's appeal is wide ranging, with both myself, being an adult, and my younger sister enjoying the twists and turns which always left us wanting more. I found it to be a very cleverly written book, often mentioning something of intrigue which left me with a lot of questions, only to surprise me with answers that I could not have predicted.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
