It was interesting enough to keep my attention, but I have an overall feeling of meh about it. It was ok, for me, not as great as people say.

I'm in the minority on this one it seems. I didn't really like the narration style and its pacing was weird for me. Interesting enough to find out the end but I was left with an over all "meh" feeling
adventurous fast-paced

Lots of twists, which is what you want in a thriller but it started really slowly and developed quite quickly mid book onwards. I thought it was a little weird and some of the twists in the plot seemed a little bit unrealistic to me. Mixed feelings.
