<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic', 'sans-serif';"><font size="3">The characters are interesting - you write with descriptive detail that makes the reader get involved in the book and become familiar with the characters (they seem realistic as you have brought in a lot of Nigerian references).</font></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic', 'sans-serif';"><font size="3">I also like the way you let the story gradually unfold, not too quick, but keeping the reader in suspense to find out what Vanessa’s past <span> </span>is and what the deal is with Frederick. </font></span></p>
