I heard a lot of hype about this book last year, so I'd been wanting to read it for a while. And after a bit a slow beginning, I absolutely could not put it down. The story was so cleverly told, and I had to keep putting the book down, with my mouth open in shock, like 'whAT?!?!'
I would have given it an extra .25 stars, however I wasn't a huge fan of the ending. I ended up predicting most of it, which was a bit of a letdown, but that's just me personally.
All in all, I really enjoyed it. Definitely worth they hype.
