Just couldn't do it - gave it 6 hrs, but couldn't go on when I saw there were 15 to go!

Pretentious and slow.

A classic coming of age tale meets a conspiracy theory thriller roughly at its peak and the two spark an entirely new type of story. Compelling and shockingly good.

loooved this one ate it up......ugh so intricately put together......such knowable and interesting characters.....series of unfortunate events vibes ESPECIALLY taking into consideration the final chapter which (by the way) was also vaguely creepy haha

Taxing, tedious, the gimmick of the novel going on too long, but still not an awful read. The mystery of it did keep pulling me along, faster and faster to the end.

Man this one just sucked me in and never let go! I would have gave it a full five stars, but the ending was a bit of a let down for me. A fabulous read though!
