The Blinds by Adam Sternbergh
3.0
I started off liking this book because it had an unusual premise and the writing style was crisp. The main characters were likable and the dialogue was sharp. I also wanted to uncover the mystery behind what was going on.
But about 1/2 way through the book as the mystery was revealed I felt the book took a turn for the worse. It felt like it switched into a dark, depressing, violent "thriller" - although it wasn't exactly page-turning material. I rarely found myself eager to pick up the book again and only plowed through the ending to see how it was wrapped up. After reading the ending I wish I'd just stopped reading it.
