3.0

This took me sooo long to read. The first half just dragged so much, I didn't want to pick it up and I struggled through. But the second half did really pick up especially towards the end. If it wasn't for the incredibly slow start I would've thought the last 150 pages to be brilliant, but that intial drag really brought it down for me, it just didn't seem necessary. The characters weren't particularly memorable, they didn't stand out to me. I liked the action at the end, I liked the tension, I felt we finally knew the characters, but unfortunately I was already too fed up with the book to really enjoy it when it finally got going.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat. It was extremely tense, with a terrifying premise. With some graphic violence the book may not be for everyone. Being a big fan of the movie, I finally decided to read the book and was completely thrown off guard. Well done.
