3.0

Thoroughly enjoyed the entire book and couldn’t stop listening. Too bad the last hour gave me the ick to the point that I was physicaly uncomfortable. Not so much the subject matter that was the problem, but rather the way the author dealt with it. Not sure I would recommend this book to anyone.

4.5

Listen. I read the reviews before reading this. I read 80 pages the first night, and read the rest today. 

There are time jumps that could seem annoying to most, but in my opinion I found it helped the story. I had an inkling about a few things, but was still surprised at all of the twists! 

I’m giving it a 4/5 as in my opinion, there should definitely be trigger warnings in the beginning of the book — but overall I really enjoyed it!!!

I think Hoover’s ideas were really interesting, but the way this book was executed left something to be desired. I found Holder to be quite annoying and hot-headed at times

Spoiler

given what he’s gone through, I understand but still

. The ending, although having me shocked, also felt poorly-handled. I would love to see the way Hoover wrote this really cool plot now, more than 10 years later.
