Gets off to a good start.  Has good characters.  There's a good pace.  It's a good story.  It's a good book.

I didn't think much of how easily someone's conscience gets the better of him at the end of the book; it was distinctly out of character and felt unrealistic.

===== Except =====

LEGO™ is a trademark and a collective noun.  It does **__not__** have a plural.  You can have some Lego, you can step on a Lego brick, or the room can be full of Lego bricks, but **do not ever put an "s" on the end of "Lego".**

The explanation about the cat comes in **far** too late in the story - it's a (small) distraction when it does turn up.

In chapter 49, there comes a jarring change of narrative - the previously-first person character suddenly (for no apparent reason) becomes third-person, and nobody "steps in" to take over.  Most disconcerting.

Strangely, in chapter 50, the first-person characterisation returns.  Odd.

Oh, hello, it's third-person again in chapter 51.  I'm going to have to wonder about this.

Chapter 52, first-person.  It keeps on shifting around from then on, and not in a nice or useful way; it's pretty distracting.
===== Oddities =====

I do not know what a "crash pad table" is.

===== Summary =====

I recommend reading this book, especially to [[Quantum|Patricia Cornwell]], in her case to find out how to write a book with quantum physics in it.
