The plot twists are good. The book is difficult to get through because everyone is so intensely unlikable.

What? What did I think? Are you kidding me?

On the one hand, the story was so good that the ending felt like the author just gave up due to expending so much energy on the convoluted storyline that she has nothing left for the end. On the other hand, any other ending would have been fake. In that way, the author was brave to end the book in a realistic fashion.

That doesn't mean the ending was satisfying. Only that it was necessary.

Gave it three stars cause the first part was so boring it took me more than a month to complete it( the first part). Mean I used to pick it up and then put it back down.


I know some people find it the best work of the writer, and maybe it is in some ways like the story was perfect. The planning, everything was so precise but still, the first part was just so hard to complete. It has never taken me this long to complete a single novel.

But when I came to the second part it was easy to complete it, the second half was a bit more binding.
If you want to go for it I hope you like it.

I was captivated by this book. It scaes me that there may be people like this in real life. I thought it give a great insight into a sociopath. Quite chilling at times. Alittle abrupt with the ending but I have created an ending that I feels fits, but would have liked alittle more of an conclusion by the author.
