axkerti's review against another edition

I just couldn't deal with the story, the plot was absolutely dragging and while I finally got one question answered when I DNF'd there was literally no energy left to the book. I was bored and I was starting slump. Chances of ever giving this book another try are really slim.

Literally buy it. Kept me on my toes. I thought I knew what was happening and then I was hit with a brick. I feel lied to. Currently questioning everything. Jaw dropping.

I enjoyed reading this book and went through it pretty quickly thanks to the fast pace and mystery. The end

fell flat for me, and some aspects were just too convenient and seemed to only come together so the book can be completely tied up with a little bow of “the end”

. 

It is something I’d most enjoy as a beach or vacation read if I had to pick the best time for it.

This was a spontaneous read for me while I was on vacation and it was a great book for that (albeit, a little stressful due to its suspense!) I didn’t see all twists coming and so the book definitely kept me on my toes and interested! I did feel like the ending was a bit rushed and came out at you all-at-once but that’s a minor critique. The DC references felt a bit heavy handed and at times I felt like the switching back between narrators were a bit clunky, which is why my review puts this book in the 3-star range. Ultimately it was a book that kept me interested and engaged on vacation which is exactly what I was looking for.
