I really enjoyed the book, and contrary to what I've heard from my book club readers, I enjoyed the constant change of character POV. They said the plot was not flowing because of it, but I actually think the author was able to move the plot beautifully in and out of characters.
I'm giving 3.5 because I was a bit disappointed by the lack of climax towards the end, that seemed to build all the way through the book. Disappointed that I don't know and will never know where the boxes came from, but ultimately glad and disturbed at the same time, that this book really showed our true colours... We are capable of so much hatred for no real reason it's disturbing.
