The concept of this story was really cool-starting with the end and going backwards to the beginning. But overall, the story just went nowhere. The characters were underdeveloped and I was left completely unfufilled.

I tried to finish it even though the book from the start to 3/4 was pretty typical. I kind of expected the ending to answer all my questions but it just made me more confused. I still like it because it peaked my interest

I thought it would be really interesting to write a book backwards--and was excited to see this book written in just that way. Sadly, that was the best part of the book. The characters were annoying so you didn't really empathize with them. The ending (beginning?) was also much too abrupt--no denouement epilogue or anything to wrap it up. They dropped the ball on this one.

This story was told back to front, starting with the ending and working back through time to see how it all began. It seemed like an interesting way to write a novel when I first picked it up, but it just didn't really work out the way that I thought it might. The characters felt forced, the climax wasn't that exciting and it just lacked something. There are a lot of stories out there that have a dark hidden secret from the past that is revealed at the end, but they seem to do a more successful job than this story did. I guess this is what I get when I pick up a book for 25 cents at a used book sale.
