3.0

I enjoyed a lot about the book. Strong turns of phrase, metaphoric narrative, compelling characters. The plot hooked me and I was into the various twists and turns ... Until the final twist. The third act fell flat and as an ending snob, that took this otherwise fun romp down to 3 star territory for me. Glad I read it. It was fun. Not sure I would exuberantly recommend it.
