Sometimes, I need a break from all the nonfiction books I read, and I turn to either James Patterson for the Alex Cross books, Dave Barry, Carl Hiaasen, Anthony Bourdain, Fredrick Bachman, or David Wilson.
I just so happened to see this book on my Kindle recommendations, and the title intrigued me. Then, I read the description, and it seemed interesting. So, I purchased it.
I think this is probably the second or third book I have read where the main character, Daniel, is physically disabled. Throughout the book is his own story of how he handles his disability. He has a best friend in Travis who helps him, a caretaker in Marjani, and a few nighttime caretakers. He lives alone and is able to perform his job monitoring and replying to social media about the airline company he works for. He has routines, and they all take time to perform, but in the mornings, he is able to enjoy the fresh air of his porch. The only person he sees in the morning on the street is a woman, and one day, he happened to witness her being kidnapped. Oh, let me also say, Daniel can’t really talk! He uses one of those Stephen Hawking devices to talk.
The cast of characters surrounding Daniel can easily have books of their own.
I couldn’t wait to turn the page and see what happens next. And what happens to the kidnapper and Daniel definitely surprised me.
I am currently reading another fiction book by Will Leitch called The Time Has Come.
