What I liked: It's interesting to read a book that's been translated from another language and this one was originally written in French. A story about a French bank robber is a unique change from the average MG read. It's obvious that Anthony's Dad loves him even if he can't stay with him because of the choices he's made in his life so far.

What left me wanting: I didn't like that Anthony's been lied to about his father's whereabouts all this time. I also wasn't crazy about the idea that his father allows him go on the run with him because in the end, he doesn't really have Anthony's best interest at heart.

Final verdict: A little boring in places but a pleasant change from the usual MG stories.
