I love large sweeping books with multiple characters that come together. But it has to be done just so. Six Suspects had the potential for that but was more rambling and confusing than it ought to have been. Some of the characters are cartoons as well. Especially the American (who learns quickly but somehow is so dumb he can't figure out very basic stuff most American children would know). I don't require that characters all be realistic, but I don't want to constantly be rolling my eyes either. All in all, it's a decent read but could have used a stronger editor.
