DNF @ 50%. There were many aspects for this book that were problematic for me. Firstly, it is hard to read - child abduction is never fun to think or read about, but I can usually stomach it, but this felt impersonal and removed from the victims. Secondly, the misogyny - i just can't deal with the way the main character “wooed” a secretary and the way she is represented is atrocious. Thirdly, I was just bored, and it felt like a chore to get through. Thank you, Next.
