My Thoughts on Capitol in Crisis

What a fun book.  When I started the book I was a bit uninterested.  It was moving a bit slow and I wondered why we were meeting all of these characters and what the point of giving me so may different ones plus some of them being so hard and cynical.  But then it started to pick up and the explosion happens and I didn’t want to put it down. 

Suddenly, I was invested in the book and the characters and really had to see what was going to happen to them.  I mean we can’t just leave all these people in the tunnel!  And those poor boys waiting to see how their grandma will be. 

I really enjoyed seeing the characters develop and grow throughout the book and how they each had their own little crisis to deal with within the larger crisis.  It’s not what I would call a romance book but there are some budding romances that you will find within the book.  I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and finding out who they were.
