Wish I could do separate reviews for the first and second half of this book, the first half was slow, the characters did not draw me in,  the plot felt drawn out - I would have dnf'd several times over if I had not seen the movie years ago and known there was a big twist.
The second half of the book was fantastic- worth the drudgery of the first half - the characters were more compelling, and the plot greatly sped up

while the first half of the book is slow. The second half picks up quickly. It's a wild ride. Well written. But ultimately I was a little disappointed in the ending
