This one felt like it left something to be desired at the end of the story, especially because you barely get to know the character that this entire book is about. It is otherwise more a tale of the escapades trying to find and sign a once-in-a-lifetime talent (with some family dramatics mixed in), where the hunt for the kid makes him more of a macguffin than anything else. While there are some interesting character dynamics at play throughout, the writing also strikes a strong balance of exposition and forward momentum of said plot that makes this very readable.
