      This was OK for what it is - no pretensions to being great literature or anything. I thought the dialogue was artificial and the change of heart (obligatory, of course, at the end of these kinds of books) didn't have enough purpose behind it to be believable. But then, I also thought the animosity exhibited at the beginning - which is what the change of heart is supposed to address - was quite a stretch, too. So, overall, it passes the time but there's probably better ways to do so.
