I lost so much sleep choosing to read this book then think about it. Reviewers pointed out lots of plot holes but the big picture of the book-so good so sad so thrilling yes please

It started as 4 stars, and by the end it was down to 2. There are like 3 or 4 "twists" - the first was lame, and the other two were so unbelievably unbelievable that I eventually just wanted to get it over with. I'll average it out to 3 stars.

I thought the author did a good job in the first bit of providing red herrings that weren't too overt, and I liked that, but the ending ruined it for me.

Don't like children endangerment. And writing style isn't my favorite.
