5.0

This was FANTASTIC! Such a ride. It really has you questioning whether the main character has lost his mind or whether the people around him are just messing with him. As it twists and turns you question what is real and what isnt. Is our protaganist trustworthy? Can I belive the things he tells me? Lots of small bits of inconsistencies in this book too, which add to that layer of confusion and unrealness. Worth the 5 star rating and then some!
