A story that has a lot of themes in it is my favorite kind of book. I too like to read teen detective works and so I think this would be good for me too. Thank you for your detailed review. I love the fact that you mentioned the total number of pages, chapters and errors.

I am impressed by the great job done by LaFlash to develop the characters properly. Character development, of course, is a very significant and sensitive factor that can't be overlooked. I might consider reading this novel, especially to find out what happened to Jenica. But the author should please fix the formatting issue raised in this review.

The statement on government oppression makes be curious on how the government is involved in Junica's disappearance. Caring friends and spouses like Virginia are hard to come by and reading this book will be an appreciation for the few who show up to others when they need them. I am sure the short length of the book makes it interesting. Congratulations on BOTD!

I have always known that time proves everything. It is refreshing to read about the loyalty and devotion showed by Virginia to her friend, Jenica. I am also glad to read about some history of the Romanian people. I think this book will make a good read.

Friendship is suppose to be exceptional. It seems Jenica's friends gave it all it takes to look for him. This is a good way to do friendship. I like that the author developed the characters properly. It will be enjoyable.
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.
