What. The. Heck.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the idea of this book. And I truly enjoyed it, if you take some of the characters off (and their deeply disturbing issues should have been addressed more imo), but this is not your relaxing read. You need to be focused and committed if you want to follow / understand (or at least I needed to).
But at the end of the day, I absolutely love the brain twisting mysteries, and this gave me just that.
