the writing style is too distracting. the author constantly repeats the characters' names and I find it so annoying that I can't focus on the plot.

I really liked this book. Some parts were quite upsetting to read (especially when nobody believed Estelle) but all in all I liked it - except for the ending, I expected a bit more there...

I was pretty bored by this book for the most part. I was very intrigued in the beginning, but everything moved very slowly and felt more like a report than a fictional story. Ben wasn't that interesting, so I didn't much care what happened to him. Actually I didn't care what happened to any of the characters. I found the ending pretty disappointing.

I enjoyed the narration of the audiobook, that's mainly why I kept listening until the end.
