When I picked this book up it was because I liked Galloway's The Cellist of Sarajevo and wanted to read another of his books. I didn't know it was partly about Houdini or I may not have chosen it. I've never liked magic tricks and illusions make me crabby. I had just watched the Houdini TV series starring Adrien Brody and confirmed my feelings once again. Having said that, I did plough through this book with very little enjoyment. There were no likeable characters in the book for me, and the ending was annoying and confusing. I was left trying to do the math and I don't like math as much as I don't like magic tricks.
