    John Boyne is the author of Crippen, The Thief of Time, Next of Kin, and the New York Times and internationally bestselling The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Boyne won two Irish Book Awards (the People’s Choice and the Children’s) for The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, which was made into a Miramax feature film, and his novels have been translated into more than thirty languages. Ireland's Sunday Business Post named him one of the forty people under forty in Ireland "likely to be the movers and shakers who will define the country's culture, politics, style and economics in 2005 and beyond." Crippen was nominated for the Sunday Independent Hughes & Hughes Irish Novel of the Year Award. He lives with his partner in Dublin.

      Some great characterisation but this book went nowhere - I was so surprised when it ended. What? Did I miss something? Some of the dialogue was funny and well done - but the storyline? It was like he couldn't figure out how to end it so they drove off into the sunset and that was it. There were too many unanswered questions and the father and daughter's relationship just didn't cut it.
