3.0

I found the first part of this book really hard to get through, it definitely felt like it  dragged a little. Part two was a lot more thrilling and grabbed my attention. By the time I got to part two the plot of the book became pretty predictable and I knew how the story would end. I still enjoyed the story and as it was a quick read I didn’t mind that it dragged a little.
