I thought the book started off pretty good, but halfway through it bogged down. A man learns that he was adopted. While trying to find out about his real family, he finds that he had been abducted when he was three. The rest of the book is about him finding out how he came to his adoptive parents, both dead now, and why there wasn't more of an uproar in the media and elsewhere about his abduction. The story was interesting enough to finish the book, but the writing itself became kind of boring. The premise of this book was more interesting than the story itself was. A young man learns he was abducted when he was three and decides to look into his disappearance and birth family. His adoptive father was on one of the last Kindertransport trains during the war. I was hoping these two "events" would be explained in more detail than they were. That being said, I did read the book to the end to find out the whole story.
Seemed like a good book, but in all honesty it didn't hold my interest.

I'm really enjoying this book. So far no murders or mayhem.
