I found it very difficult to finish this book due to the pacing and repetitive nature of the plot. The twist at the end was somewhat predictable but also engaging. There is not a lot of character development since it takes place over such a short amount of time. However, I was impressed with the way the author utilized every aspect of the environment the characters were in to drive the plot forward.
