I wanted to like this book SO bad. Maybe it was the high expectations coming into it, but I just felt as though the more the story went on, the more that the core of the piece was lost. It felt like there were multiple different books in one and the consistency was all lost by the end. Also using 9/11 as a plot device should be a book writing crime.
