(at the beginning it may have benn a little bit slow but the end made up for it)
loved that there were just a dozen of characters so you couldn't get them confused and all of them at the right amount of screen time (as well as message M which was more dominant at the beginning but played an important role until the end)

This is a debut novel? Seriously? I can hardly believe that. It was so unputdownable I spent an entire Saturday in a reading daze, and while I must have had food and gone to the bathroom etc, I have no recollection, I was that engrossed. I love a good revenge novel, and this one had me enthralled. When was the last time you rooted for a sociopathic vigilante serial killer? Dexter maybe? And the ending, wow.
Loved, loved, loved. Such dark, clever, tense fun.
Also, has someone already commented on the nice riff on "How to lose a guy in ten days"?
"No point crying over spilt blood."
