I had a fun time listening to this one. I'd highly recommend the audiobook because it perhaps even boosted my rating a bit because the narrators made it even more interesting. The story dragged me in from the first chapter and managed to keep me hooked. Some of the twists where very predictable, some of them I guessed parts of the idea but not the whole thing, and others totally surprised me. But overall I had a good time with this book and enjoyed seeing it unfold.
