Was not very impressed with this book; that should be taken with a grain of salt because I listened to it on audiobook. It was narrated by the author, which is an awesome idea, but practically I think there would have been much better choices to go with for voice narration. I found it extremely hard to listen to and ultimately lacking the compelling element that I was hoping this story would hold.
