krikketgirl's review against another edition
4.0
I rated this highly because the writing is often extremely good--good enough to win me over despite an entirely-unsympathetic main character and his love interest. This is a novel of unpleasant people and suspense, where the reader can't quite bring themselves to root for the protagonist, but can't quite hope he'll be discovered, either. At its plainest, it's a book about greed and about secrets: what are you willing to do for the things you've dreamed of? And will you regret them? The twist ending was stunning and a little hard to believe, and I was disappointed that after all the work to get through the book, the denouement was so swift and brief. (less)
