No Place to Hide Book

Although this book was somewhat predictable, I still enjoyed it. Knowing the author gave a personal feel to the reading as well. Since he grew up in the neighboring town and we know his family, I wanted to like this book before I even started reading it. I loved knowing all the places he mentions in the book, the Arizona names and places. That, too, made if more personal. I liked the boys immediately, the central characters, and felt sympathy for their circumstances in life. I was rooting for them, and wanting them to have someone to love them, and help them on their life's journey. I loved the closeness these two brothers had, and yet they acted like real-life boys, not too perfect. The resolution was took a stretch of believability, but was a sweet conclusion. Gus, was a character worth meeting, and I liked him a lot. He represents the best in human nature and in good people throughout the world. There were lots of things to enjoy in Kristoffer Neff's novel, and I would enjoy reading another of his books. Thank you, Kristoffer for being at our local bookstore to sign my book and give me incentive to read your story.
