The Book of Air and Shadows by Michael Gruber

I haven't posted about a book in quite some time. A couple of reasons: I haven't been reading much lately, and I haven't read anything that really captured my attention. I'm glad to say that The Book of Air and Shadows by Michael Gruber has broken that stretch. This book passed several of my criteria for a good thriller:

• Characters were well fleshed out
• Only a couple of times did I read something and think "Ah, this will be important later". Given the complexity of the plot, that's pretty good.
• I also didn't guess much of the conclusion--just a couple of pretty obvious points. I was looking forward to seeing how the various plots and characters would come together
• Finally, most of the plot lines came together very well. The only part that I thought was handled poorly was the part of the brother Paul--though he was an interesting character nonetheless.

All in all, a very enjoyable read.
