Only Forward by Michael Marshall Smith

When it started I was sceptical and thought it was slightly pretentious.
The middle, the plot and the writing and most of the characters and the set up soon changed my mind, right up to the Big Twist at the end (which I feel like you figure out but is still well done), but the last page was a real let down. The final chapter didn’t fit with the tone of the book, was too neat and tidy and...optimistic.
I also felt that the female characters were pretty 1 dimensional which is always a let down.
Overall though I enjoyed it and enjoyed how it made me think.
