اصلن اون چيزى كه فكر ميكردم نبود ! بدون هيجان و با توضيحات لوس و اضافى اى كه نميدونم مترجم اضافه كرده بود يا كار خود نويسنده بود مثه جزئيات لباس و مارك عطر كه منو ياد رماناى خنك ايرانى كه تو دوران راهنمايى ميخوندم مينداخت .. صفحه هاى آخرو ديگه خط به خط نميخوندم و چشمى رد ميكردم .. حوصله سربر بود و واقعن نفهميدم اين كتاب واسه چى اين همه اسم در كرده !

Not sure what all the fuss is about... Feel the same way about this as I did about Gone Girl. Meh, maybe because I couldn't sympathize with any of the protagonists. Would NOT recommend. There are too many other good books out there.

Felt this fell a bit flat for me. Didn’t really like any of the characters very much, which probably didn’t help. At the start the time jumps felt confusing, probably because I didn’t pay enough attention to the months. 
Didnt feel very tense - felt more like a mystery than a thriller. 
I did manage to avoid spoilers (haven’t seen the film) so it kept me guessing right until the end. The end fell a bit flat though - I wanted a bit more from it, all felt a bit pathetic?
