I listened to the audiobook and the voice actor is doing an amazing job. It's an interesting concept, I found the book quite tense and was thrilled to see what happens next. May have enjoyed it more if I weren't an European and got all the little things I'm sure New Yorkers know but I had to just believe in.
Edit:
It's 4 am and I am thinking about the book again so I will upgrade the rating I guess.
