4By jenajenIntriguing story. Although you may be able to figure out where it's going you keep reading because you want to hear the words.Mr. Mosley did it again
5By johnniemouseI have enjoyed every book that I read of mr. Mosley's. But this one I became part of. Maybe it is because I am old enough that I forget someones name I should remember or forget to do something that I should have remembered to do. But all of us older readers will remember Ptolemy.The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey
