Plot- or character-driven? A mix

This shit was CRAZY. I initially dnfed it after 10% but a friend convinced (bullied) me into continuing. Now it's almost 3am because I HAD to know how this whole thing would play out. Bananas.

Well....wasn't this a book about some truly dispicable people?? It's complex and well written, but; by the end I wished everyone was dead, which would have been preferable to the ending offered. I can see why they are making this into a movie, it has that Hollywood unbelievable type of feel to it, while still being a fun ride.

I had been eyeing this book for quite a while before I finally caved and read it. It had a great pace to it and the writing style, while not amazing, kept the story flowing. There were just a couple things I wish I had been warned about:

1. Don't read at night: I can't tell you how late I stayed up saying to myself: "One more chapter. Just one more." and end up still reading after fifteen chapters. Be prepared. Most of the chapters end with a surprise or cliffhanger, so you will have a hard time putting the book down.

2. The Characters: God, what an emotional roller coaster ride the other put me through with the characters. I hated him, felt so sorry for her. I felt sorry for him, hated her. Felt sorry for them both. Hated them both with a passion. It was a lot of flip-flopping of opinions and it did wear me out a little.

3. The ending: I actually found the ending a stroke of creativity. Some people say she takes the easy way out, but I think it made it a tad more realistic. There isn't a big twist at the end. There isn't complete resolution. Life goes on to the outward world, but inside to them, it is clearly unstable. With that ending, I remained frightened for them both long after I flipped the last page. Genius.

It's a great book, and one I'd definitely recommend a strong spirited person who doesn't mind coarse language, intense plot, and insanity.
