The plot soon takes strange (although believable) and unexpected twists that leave you wondering what in the hell is going on. And you ask yourself, how is Greg going to get his ass out of this one alive?"</i> - Chesya Burke, feoamante.com, 2003 <a href="http://www.feoamante.com/Stories/Reviews/ABC/Cuckoo.html" rel="nofollow">Full review here.</a> Review – “Throughout the novel you begin to sympathize with Greg as he searches to find out the truth and learns that perhaps his whole life has been a lie.
