![]() ![]() I confess that I only bought the first book in this series to fuel my John Barrowman obsession and didn’t really have very high expectations of it. I have recommended these books to friends who had discounted them thinking it was just another celebrity rip off. ![]() However I feel John Barrowman has done something different, and it's admirable as well as a good business idea, instead of using an uncredited ghost writer who often gets paid a fraction of the money the celeb gets, he's properly collaborated with his sister, who can properly write. I know there's the thing of celebrities writing books that winds some people up, and mostly I agree, yes there are no doubt lots of people out there who write as well or better but never get published, but that applies no matter who the author is. There's a lovely device of introducing characters from the past and then bringing in the device of time travel so that the stories all come together. I feel that the Barrowmans have done something really clever in the way they've built up this story. It ends on the cliffhanger of all cliffies, so I'm awaiting the third book. This is a sequel that's better than the first book. ![]()
