Rated Remote Control 6/10

Interesting, but found I got lost in the timeline of the story quite often.<br/><br/>I _really_ wanted to enjoy Remote Control a lot more than I did. It was well written and initially the character of Fatima, aka Sankofa, aka _"adopted daughter of the Angel of Death"_ was really interesting. I wanted to know more about them.<br/><br/>If I'm honest though, I completely lost track of the timeline, I think half way through the book I jumped around in time and I wasn't sure if the story was being told from the past or the present and it left me a little confused as to where the character was up to.<br/><br/>It was also strange (to me certainly) that Sankofa's family could be killed and they live in their mother's home whilst the mother's body is rotting (maggot detail to boot) - and yet this doesn't phase Sankofa - or at least it didn't come across to me. <br/><br/>Still, as I said, the story was well written and though I couldn't entire emphasis with the character, Sankofa is an interesting character all the same - even if I'm left wanting to know a _lot_ more about them. (and like, what was the deal with the fox??!)
