3.0

I had high hopes for this thriller. It’s the first thriller I have read in a very long time. Everyone has been talking about it and so I wanted to see if it is worth the hype. I can see why it is popular and I can see why people love it. I thought it was okay. It was very easy to figure out what was going on. I really enjoyed the audiobook and how it was basically a full cast. I recommend reading it that way.

 I was on the edge till the very end. I also hated every character in the book but that also what made it so brilliant. I just wish the title of the book was something else, gave a lot of it away.
