2.0

I can’t decide if I didn’t ultimately like it because it’s badly written or because I kept hoping it was a different kind of book. Perhaps both. The mystery is pretty predictable, the premise takes forever to get anywhere, the characters act in a bizarre ways, and the prose has an odd quality—no urgency even when, say, dead bodies are discovered. Just a big disappointment.
