A book about horrible people and a sociopath. I found it hard to like any of the characters, I pushed my way through this just to finish it. Maybe I shouldn’t have..life’s too short to read stuff like this.

Thoughts upon finishing: that's it?

I have to say I enjoyed the movie a lot more then the book. I found the book to be very boring and jumpy. I also didn’t like all the blogs and that there isn’t a ending. It just stops without ending the book or telling us there’s going to be another one. Nothing, just done.

I thought that this was going to be a really good mystery, but I did not end up liking it. I felt that the “big reveals” were way too overused. I felt that the characters were all very unlike able and, frankly, this novel lessened my interest in having children. Over all I did not enjoy it, but others might.

I didn’t expect to not like this book but man, did it drag. I didn’t care about any of the characters at all. Just wasn’t for me.
