The sentence that kept running through my head as I read this book: "MAKE BETTER CHOICES, PEOPLE!"
I get it. The book wouldn't be suspenseful if the characters always did the right thing. Still...GAAAAHHH.
I did like the story. It's a fine summer read, and lucky me, I read it in winter. Maybe I'll re-read it in a few months.
The ending, like so many endings nowadays, felt rushed. Are authors being told to keep their books short? Is there a reason why so many books are magically only 300-350ish pages long? Let the stories be told, publishers. Sheesh.
I won't hold it against DK. This book kept me entertained. That's all I ask for.
