This book wasn't for me. I don't like thrillers usually but I read this one as part of a genre challenge. I didn't see the humor in any of it.

One good thing I can say is that it's very easy to read, I finished it in a day.

I really loved the writing style of this book. The short chapters make it go by very quickly too! It was a fun read and even though I don't typically go for thrillers I enjoyed it.
