The narrator was ok but not the most engaging ever. Having read the hardcopy years ago, I think the view switching made a lot more sense and flowed better with the visible spacing and pauses between paragraphs to switch views, it also added to the tension and action movie vibe.

Was recommended this book by my bf <3. Didn't start the book for a while as it's not my kind of thing, but once I did I read it within two days. I loved the writing and formatting of the book, the way the author educates you as the story continues. The action scenes (particularly loved the one with the Orca's), amazing characters and numerous plot twists kept me rapt. Very pleasantly surprised with this one.

3.0

Its a really bad book. The plot is insane and obsessive over conspiracies and other fun stuff. At some points the action is so convoluted that I had to laugh. Even though the book was thick, even me, a slow reader, got through it pretty quickly, the pages just fly away. Entertaining read, but not for its realism.

I read this years ago in high school and I've always recommended it to anyone that likes action books or movies.
This book reads just like a action movie in your head.

It is so fast paced, different plots moving and joining up.
