Well written & plotted. But all the characters were hard to like. The narator gave them annoying voices to match. I think other people would like this book, just not for me. Would make a great tv series though.

Overall, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. It's not to my usual style, but the story was fairly fast paced and easy to get through. I hear the film is really good, too, so I'll have to give it a watch and compare!
