3.0

"A chillingly told horror story", it is not. I don't know if it was written that way and lost it somewhere in translation, but it's a mediocre mystery rather than the terrifying horror we associate with the movies. Even the mystery aspect of it isn't fulfilling. There's no real tension, or urgency despite the 7 day deadline. You may get through the book quickly because it's an easy read, but there's no accompanying satisfaction. Meh. 2.5.
