i expected to like it a bit more than i have, but i cant say im disappointed! the story was definitely intriguing and i found the main character to be an interesting individual. i've seen people complain that "the story went nowhere", but i think that was the main. it wasn't action based, but psychology based. of course, thats not everyone's cup of tea tho!! so i cant fault people who dont like these type of stories for disliking this one!!

i really liked the prose as well. it was a beautifully written book, which is always a plus for me!!
