Helpful Score: 1

At first, I thought this book was really slow. And cliche. In fact, during the first half of the book I was tempted several times to put it down and move on, but since I have a hard time quitting a book once I've started, I kept on. Finally, around page 200, the story became interesting. The second half of the book moved much faster. It took me days to read the first half, and only hours to read the second.

I felt the characters and events were a little unrealistic. Though I'm glad I finished it, this book does solidify my skepticism towards contemporary fiction. It seems so much of it is shallow and contrived. Nevertheless, I am glad I stuck with it and was actually quite surprised by the ending.
