The first half of the book was incredibly slow, and the most interesting parts were glossed over in just a few pages. The concept was good, but the execution was poor, and it finished very abruptly and unsatisfyingly.

This was a very easy and enjoyable read. However it was missing something for me. I was looking for a creepy, eerie read, and what I got left me feeling more confused than disturbed.
