I'm having a hard time rating this since the "story" was interesting but I think the pacing of the book took away from my enjoyment of reading this. I felt like the author didn't have a strong focus for the narrative they put together. The book seemed like a jumble of details roughly organized in chronological order but lacked...something. I'm not even sure exactly what I wanted more of, cohesiveness maybe? The second part's focus on Amy was fantastic but it drove me crazy at how many times she was referred to as the "girl". It was hard to tell how many of these and other strange wording choices were the author's or directly from source material.
