3.0

To be honest, I am a bit conflicted on how to rate this book. I found that the beginning was very slow and hard to follow along. When it started to pick up I thought the book was going in a great direction. When it got good it really was good and I couldn't stop reading, but it always seemed to fall back into long, boring, meaningless paragraphs. There never seemed to be a plot even though the book suggests a specific one the whole time. I was always expecting something to happen and it just never did. It was very anti-climactic and to say the least... the ending was worst than disappointing.
