The first half was incredibly slow. It took forever to build up to the actual storyline. I am also still trying to figure out why it was necessary to use such graphic detail to describe a violent sexual assault to one of the main characters.

I had heard this was a must read book so decided to read. 50 pages, even 100 I was stumped as to what the hype was about. I was bored and did not see that this was for me, but every review said I must continue. The reviews were right!! 

This turned out to be an absolutely enthralling thriller. Some parts were quite graphic and disturbing, so little warning there. Overall I became really invested in characters and the story and am so glad I pushed on.
