4.0

this book is a kind of groundhog day meets murder mystery type of novel, and i enjoyed it a lot! i love books written from multiple points of view and although this book is *techincally* from the point of view of one man, the fact that he gradually adopts more and more characteristics of his hosts was really intriguing to me. i loved the last hundred or so pages of the book the most, and really loved the twist. i really appreciate the intricacies of this book - but in the same vein, i would say my main struggle with this book was its length. i'm not a super big long-book reader and this book was approaching the cusp of too long for me. i'm glad the story was as interesting as it was because that helped me get through it for sure! 
i'm giving this one 4/5 stars! 

(my copy had 458 pages)
