So I have just finished this book … I honestly am slightly unsure what to think . I completely understand all the hype around this book and it definitely had plenty unexpected turns . I think the way the writer paced this book is incredibly clever , the way at points you read it so fast as if it’s the speed of an adrenaline rush . I find it so damn clever with the repetition on the rush of adrenaline. However , the ending slightly confused me a bit well it definitely confused me . I think I understand it but it has left me feeling a bit baffled . I definitely haven’t read anything quite like it neither .
