The Running Man by Michael Gerard Bauer

I have recently completed 'The Running Man' by Michael Gerard Bauer and found it to be an excellent novel that keeps you wondering throughout. It oozes mystery and keeps the reader curious and wondering until the end. I like the characters and the perception and vulnerability of the main character.
This book was a winner of the Older Readers CBCA Awards in 2005 as well as a list of other awards received around the country. His latest "Don't Call Me Ishmael" (Read Chapter One Here), has been shortlisted for the 2007 CBCA Awards again in the Older Readers catagory.
