The entire time reading this I kept saying, to myself, that if anything bad happens to Ian I'm metaphorically throwing this e-book across the room!
I really enjoyed this book, it was quirky and thought provoking, and I really couldn't put it down. I wasn't sure how it would end and was pleased with the way it all wrapped up. I loved the underlying theme of becoming who we are and all the things that influence that along the way.

no one’s writing style is quite like makkai’s. you spend half the book in anxiety for the character’s decisions, but the narrative is so enticing you forget to worry
I only ready the first 60 pages or so and skimmed the rest. I didn't buy the plot at all. The main character is pathetic and a little whiny. There are a lot of coincidences in the plot and it felt a little heavy handed. In full disclosure, I am a librarian so that might be a reason I had such a big problem with it. I just didn't find it realistic and an adult who gets tricked by a 10 year old, even a smart 10 year old, should be working at a fast food joint and not a library.
