Wow, this was absolutely INCREDIBLE.
During the morning rush hour, the lives of three strangers are forever changed when they are taken hostage by a gunman in a small cafe. As the hours tick by and the atmosphere remains tense, the group begin to share stories, and Stockholm Syndrome begins to kick in...
Not many books could have you feel bad for the gunman at the end, but this one has managed to do it. It was written so well - straight into the action from the beginning and then drip-fed bits and pieces from the lives of the hostages and the gunman, and as I said, by the end you are left completely understanding his point of view, even if you disagree with his methods.
This was a fantastic book - I couldn't put it down. Highly recommend!
