Oh boy.
This book went from interesting to boring to anger-inducing to something that left me with mixed emotions. At one point I thought it might be getting a 1 star rating but it was redeemed by the end, a bit. I gotta put it right in the middle with 3 stars... Although there were some clever and surprising bits, I felt it was mostly too predictable. Some of those predictable things were annoying and some were exactly what I wanted. I did enjoy some parts, but ultimately I found the overall plot a tad over the top. This does have potential for a good film adaptation, though.
But seriously... what's up with that curtain pattern man??
