I was really disappointed with this book - I thought the plot "idea" was fantastic and anyone would be eager to turn the pages to find out what happened. The writing itself was boring and in a way factually stated you didn't feel like you were part of the story or feel the characters personalities, you were more briefed on them to the point of repetitiveness; the book had no life. I felt like I was reading a report on a book chapter by chapter with too many choppy characters of no significance - instead of being intertwined in a good story.

But what ruined it the most for me was the fact that before you were even halfway through the book it was so blatantly obvious as too what happened but more so incredulous was that characters in the book had not even the slightest deduction that you the reader comes too and that was absurd. I wanted to stop reading the book right then, the only thing I didn't know was the who & the why and those were minor to the story line the mysterious plot for me was dead.

I did continue reading for the benifit of the doubt and I can't say it got any better and when the story was over I thought even less of it as a mystery - I'd say it was a quick thrown out book with little thought past the "idea" of a good story, which was too bad because I think this could have been an excellent story.
