  • Diverse cast of characters? No

2.0

it was unsettling at times and i didnt hate it, but definitely not my favorite. the hints given throughout seemed to be very obvious (even if you didnt know what the hint meant it was very clear that you were supposed to make note of it, and twists are much more satisfying when the hints are woven in subtly). i guessed most of the ending pretty early on and i think i would have liked it a lot better if the narrators realization as to what was happening wasnt so abrupt. i think the format of the book was really cool but the work as a whole kind of disappointing.
