Woof. Not unreadable. Not great. It’s mostly just fine. 

I found myself rushing through it, not because I enjoyed it, but because I wanted to get it over with - like a chore. Nick’s voice, especially in the first half of the book is very irritating. The worst part was the end. Felt like the author was rushing to finish it and also didn’t know how to finish it. The ending was kind of terrible. It had the potential to be good, which was ultimately the most disappointing. 

Beginning- annoying

Middle - good!

Ending - very bad.

This is one of the books I wrote my Masters Thesis on. It is entirely brilliant, the construction of the book, the characterisation, the way that important information is introduced, even the way narratorial reliability is explored, all of it comes together to create something wholly extraordinary.

This is one of those books that everyone should at least attempt reading, it has so much to offer, and at the same time is genuinely engaging.

This is a murder mystery thriller novel. Although not gory, or gratuitous, the above content warnings apply throughout the novel. Not all of things actually take place, but proof of them is manufactured, and they are discussed.
