![]() I confess that I only bought the first book in this series to fuel my John Barrowman obsession and didn’t really have very high expectations of it. I have recommended these books to friends who had discounted them thinking it was just another celebrity rip off. However I feel John Barrowman has done something different, and it's admirable as well as a good business idea, instead of using an uncredited ghost writer who often gets paid a fraction of the money the celeb gets, he's properly collaborated with his sister, who can properly write. I know there's the thing of celebrities writing books that winds some people up, and mostly I agree, yes there are no doubt lots of people out there who write as well or better but never get published, but that applies no matter who the author is. There's a lovely device of introducing characters from the past and then bringing in the device of time travel so that the stories all come together. I feel that the Barrowmans have done something really clever in the way they've built up this story. ![]() It ends on the cliffhanger of all cliffies, so I'm awaiting the third book. This is a sequel that's better than the first book. ![]()
