I enjoyed this book because it captures you with its incredible details. You wonder what will happen next. I think that Charlie's talent to hear pictures talk is fascinating. The author gives you an outstanding image of the characters. The settings in the book add to the mystery. When I got to the end, I wanted to know what would happen next. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
