I originally DNF'd this book, and was then recommended the audiobook, and wow. Anyone who isn't listening to the audiobook is being robbed of a fantastic experience. I think this is a boring book without it, because the formatting loses its character when you aren't hearing the sound effects and all the different voices.

The story itself was a total twister. It wasn't as predictable as most thrillers tend to be, and I think because of the title, I genuinely wasn't sure where it was going to end up. It probably would have been a four star for me except I felt like the ending was a bit open ended, and the author had to clarify events personally and I don't like that, I feel like it should be explained within the story. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience once I switched to the audiobook.
