Mixed feelings on this - it did grip me for the first 200 pages or so, but I found myself getting a bit impatient with it as I got into the last 150. I found the constant vague hinting grating after a while. The writing was pretty good, but I found the ending a bit anticlimactic, and the resolution of the survivors & writer’s story a bit hamfisted. 2 stars feels a bit harsh but I didn’t like this as much as I like most books I give 3 stars.
