3.0

The mystery in this book didn't pull me in like I hoped it would. The writing style wasn't for me either - it felt like big parts filled with exposition followed by big parts filled with dialogue and it never felt cohesive. Not to mention the typical male protagonist written by a man who every woman can't help but want to sleep with.

Definitely interesting. I think this was definitely an important book to write, especially in regards to overlooked problems. But I did feel like some of it got ahead of itself and ended up coming off as a bit melodramatic.
