I have mixed feelings about this book.

I enjoyed this story very much: the characters are very interesting and complex, the narrative is very well built, it makes us want to keep reading. Around the middle of the book it kinda ruins the storyline, everything is a mess and everyone is a suspect (even people who make zero sense to the plot). We were supposed to like Theo till the end, right? To make more of an impact? But the way he keeps making everything about him kinda made me start to hate him... maybe that was on purpose. Who knows? And it is such a shame because I think that the way this book is written is really clever, constantly jumping from telling things in the first person to telling events like we are just being expectators... brilliant!

I believe that this way of writing would be great for a movie or tv show but it doesn't work as well for a book.
