Really slow book and takes a while to get the point and the climax of the story. Some parts were uninteresting and some were leaving me on the edge of my seat, especially the ending. I liked the origin story and the professor confessing to knowing what was out there, but the ending was a bit unexpected but a tiny but underwhelming. I was really for jaw dropping twists but I wasn't incredibly drawn to this book like I thought I'd be. I hope to see the movie to be able to visualize the story since certain parts were hard to mentally visualize, including the watchers. I didn't really care for the incredibly detailed and descriptive dialogue, but if that's your cup of tea, you'll enjoy this suspense novel.
