[The Prediction] by [Darren Sugrue] was an excellent thriller. The question is, if you could know the date of death would you want to? Daniel did his PhD thesis on a mathematical formula that could predict when someone would die. His thesis was rejected and he gave up his old life to be a crane operator. Twelve years later his old professor approaches him after the death of his son and wants Daniel to take his thesis up again. This decision will change everyone involved.

The characters were well developed and drove the plot. I really liked how you got to see different perspectives throughout the book.I highly recommend this book. I could not put it down once I started reading.

So, watching the Disney adaptation of this, you kind of feel bad for Ichabod Crane. From what I can recall, he's kind of a lovable dope, right?
Book? Completely different. Ichabod is kind of an aloof d-bag, the new, local school teacher and scaredy cat. Of course, the Legend of Sleepy Hollow is the Headless Horseman, thought to be a deceased Hessian soldier.
After being rebuffed by the chick he thinks is into him, at a dance, and terrified of this story that was told to him, he heads home, and was never seen again, Was it the chick's other suitor who killed him? Was he so embarrassed he just moved?
No one knows, and I kind of dug the ending for leaving it open ended.
