Helpful Score: 2

I really, really enjoyed this book, though I can see where it wont be to everyones taste. The plot develops gradually through various characters in the beginning, and some readers might find it too slow getting started. The writing is also fairly straightforward, with many simple sentences and not much in the way of lyricism or complexity, but I felt this style fit the setting; it didnt feel plodding or monotonous. Once the action takes off, it really takes off. The story becomes incredibly suspenseful, a real page-turner, and I found myself reading it at every possible moment. I thought I would be annoyed by the 'Romeo and Juliet' allusion, but I ultimately appreciated how the author used it. I will look for additional works by this writer.
