A great read! The perfect amount of engaging: I was really gripped by the story and excited to read it, but it wasn't so much that I had to stay up all night reading, it wasn't that difficult to put down. Loved having Marcellus as a narrator so much. Took off a quarter star only because of the frustration

of how Cameron acts sometimes, especially at the end

when the reader knows more information than the characters know. This wasn't my usual genre or what I would usually identify as my favorite reads, as it's not quite as focused on individual characters' internal emotional progress as much as I usually read, but I loved it so much!
