Generally speaking, I had a perfectly fine time with this, but it was a book club read, so hashing it out with the group changed my opinion by just a little bit (that and watching the show immediately after finishing it). I don't think the story was super predictable, I was curious the whole time where it was going to go (and at no point did I really have THAT as the reason) BUT, there were some weaker parts too; the characters were not particularly loveable, I wasn't "rooting" for them per say, just more curious what the heck was going on. And the book club and I agreed that the ending was kind of unrealistic, and a bit of a copout. But regardless, not the worst thing I've read this year.
