3.0

This was your standard B-grade psychological thriller. The pages moved well enough, but some real cleverness was totally lacking. The characters were even less than 2/dimensional and I never really felt like any of the relationships between characters had real genuineness to them. The final climax of the book also went in a far too dramatic turn when compared with the middle 40-60% of the book.
