I think the book definitely picked up middle way through and I enjoyed the ending more than I thought I would. Made me emotional actually. However, there was a lot of this that was completely predictable which I usually don’t like but I did like the video explanation in the book. Not my favorite book but think it deserved more than 3 stars.

Interesting storyline but becomes somewhat predictable by the middle of the book. Not exactly a suspense read. But still a decent enough read. Not bad but not extraordinary.

This book has a great mystery to it and it definitely keeps you intrigued. It is a slow burn and the main character is incredibly dull in the beginning. Overall I'm glad I stuck through the first few dry chapters, because it ended up being an extraordinary story.
