What it has going for it
It feels like I have been wanting to read this book forever. I can't even remember the first time I saw it but I just had to read it. I love kidnapping stories with not so bad guys and throw in the fact that the MC is blind?Oh, yeah! I had to read it. I finally got my hands on it and dove right in...


What's lacking
...and was highly disappointed. Very few things in this book were believable. First of all Cheyenne has pneumonia but hardly acted sick. I've had pneumonia three times in my life and, let me tell you, you're hardly conscious let alone capable of conversation and escape planning. The whole thing felt juvenile; the characters, the plot, everything! Then there was the cliche characters with cliche names to go along with them. I mean, come on, Jimbo and TJ? Obviously the thugs, right? Ugh!

Yea or Nay?
Save yourself the mind numbing disappointment and skip this one.
