To begin, I'd like to point out that Goodreads should update the book information. The paperback copy is 404 pages long, not the 360-some it says.
As for the book itself, I was incredibly disappointed. It took almost 300 pages for anything interesting to happen, and the ending was unsatisfactory to say the least.

In short, I would not recommend this. Normally, I keep my first read books on principal, but I don't think I even want anyone stumbling across this among my piles and shelves if/when they look for something to read.… (mehr)
