He soon realises that he can't believe anything he is told and cannot trust anybody.

The first half of this book is great, but in the second half, it all goes pear-shaped! It was far-fetched beyond belief, and although I expect to have to suspend belief sometimes, I felt that this was expecting the reader to suspend their belief much too far. The ending was confusing, but by the time I got to it, I couldn't be bothered to try and work out what was going on.… (más)
