G.K.C is an interesting enigma; there's no gainsaying we are u treated to a thriller in these pages; the little peering I've made shows indeed the paradoxical character of his writing.

The highlight in this review for me is the fact that the central characters are named after the weekdays and there's an evocation of the Genesis creation story; coincidentally, it bears relation with the book I just dropped: Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon wherein a Negro secret society of seven guys named after the week days whose objective is racial protection by avenging on innocent white folks the ill-treatment meted on black folks as a way of ensuring balanced ratio.

I'm tempted to answer Thursday to the question above.

The review does betray the modesty that the disclaimer came with. Well-done.

Wow! The coincidence with Toni Morrison's book is striking! Do you mind writing your review of the book? I'd appreciate reading it through your review.

Well, your guess is wrong. Note that Syme became Thursday. Sunday turned out to be the recruiter of the other members of the council. I'd prefer you read the book to find out; if that is how I don't dish out spoilers.

Thank you for noting the correlation between the body of the review and the disclaimer.

Thank you for reading and sharing your feedback.
