rubym's review against another edition
1.0
I got around about 300 pages into this book. I didn't finish it for many reasons. I disliked the way that the character of Jessica was portrayed I found that she was very annoying, and badly written. I disliked her and her motivations. I also disliked how much the author tries to make the plot unpredictable. He does this using motivations that are unrealistic and frustrating. Especially through the uses of coincidences. I found the plot exhausting and frustrating, to me this was very disappointing because I really loved the writing style in this novel.
