5.0

Oh crikey! This book neatly broke me. I had so many staying at the wall, WTF happened there moments. I had to keep having a break to watch people making biscuits on YouTube while I gathered myself and was reminded of the good mundane things in life. An absolute emotional rollercoaster for me. If you want your IBS to flare up and your nerves to be shredded, this is a book for you. 
Loved the characters and the plot.

4.0

Livro bem pesado e descritivo, da bastante agonia tantos detalhes 
mas a história é interessante principalmente quando se pensa que é possível algo similar a isso estar acontecendo agora em algum lugar (ou alguns lugares) do mundo; gostei das críticas do livro e a leitura do diário do sam foi muito emocionante 

infelizmente tiveram alguns “furos” talvez, tipo a claire facilmente decifrar todas as senhas do paul, principalmente para algo desse nível que exigiria além de uma senha para esconder eu imagino e tal informação relevante estar no pendrive que ele deu a ela, não sei se perdi essa explicação, do pq só ter no pendrive e pq ter dado a ela, mas não faz sentido para mim
tiveram vários plots e momentos surpreendentes, o que achei muito bom
