Review:
(Stonefly) is amazingly and intricately crafted. The writing is superb, and the reader feels immediately that he is in the hands of a master author. There's no weakness of narration. The story line is cohesive and compelling. This is the best-written book I've read for as far back as I can remember.
This book holds universal appeal for all... My young adult readers will be hooked by the plot line and the suspense. Well, that is also what will hook my adult friends. But they'll also be surprised at how well the story is written. -J. Pickett of Book Lens
