apostrophen's review
4.0
I quite liked this - a stirring and interesting idea for a novel: someone is kidnapped, Aaron Greene, a kid who has no real influence, power, or money - and the people asked to pay his ransom of millions? The bank where he works as a mail-boy.
The stir created by the bank's refusal is only part of the power of this story. There's a lot of philosophy and sociological comment in this book, between the lines, and the characters - especially those of Aaron's kidnappers and the reporter most involved - are very well written and dynamic.
