Wow, the last 100 pages will keep you at the edge of your seat the whole way until the end. I loved the other books by the same author and this one kept me engaged the whole time. I love this type of book of espionage, government gone bad and good guys winning.

After you get past the first 50 pages (good luck with that), you are finding the true reason for the continuation of reading this book. I found the next 100+ pages very insightful, enjoyable, and readable. Unfortunately the last 100 pages weren't neither of those adjectives... Almost to the point where I didn't care any more about Greg's mission and the objective. I feel for the children (especially the girls) in those countries, but the message could of been shorter in the end. A suggestion to the printing house - put an update page at the end with what was currently accomplished and what the status of all the projects are.

I was very disappointed in the author's ending! I enjoyed the book up until the last 20 pages when I find out that the woman lives. Ugh, what was that all about? I figured Mr. Sparks got tired of writing tear jerkers but I was in the mood for a tear jerker!

The center of the story, the zookeepers wife, is the best part of the story. There are many tangents and sub-topics that surround her life and are nicely interwoven, but i don't necessarily find relevant. I appreciated all the hard work, research, and connections that were made by the author, however, not as inspirational as i thought it would be...
