OH! This book had my attention jumping back and forth as I tried to figure out who and what was happening. 

Great read. Medium paced turns into a VERY fast paced as the knowledge of the reader escalates.

3.0

A rare moment when the screen adaptation is leaps better than the original text. Still a brilliant story. Something that'll keep you up at night, but worse, one that'll haunt you, closing your throat whenever you'd want to bring it up with vulnerability.
