The skin map

I am finally writing the review for the book "The skin map" By Stephen Lawhead.I ordered this book because it sounded great.The front cover made it sound like a wonderfull adventure and completely interesting.I loved the idea of certain places in already interesting London taking me to alternate worlds to find unbelievable treasures.I was sadly mistaken and dissapointed.The book is about the main character "Kit" who in the beginning is on a mission to take his Girlfriend on a date,this is where the book starts to be excruciatingly boring boring boring.The Author goes into way to much detail on how many tries it took "Kit" to find a way of transportation and frankly I do not care (just get to the point!).Anyway he ends up meeting his long lost super Great Grandfather "Cosmo",who traveled through time in order to meet "Kit" and take "Kit" to another world.There he tells "Kit" that in certain places in London you can go to other worlds.To wrap up the summery of the book."Kit" and His Grandfather "Cosmo" go on a great adventure to find a man that has on his body a map tattood that will lead them on a race to try and find a great treasure before anyone else does.The book sounds great right.Nope.The book was (as I said before) very very boring and went into way to much detail.I will not be reading the sequel.
