2.38/5.
Honestly, this book frustrated the hell out of me. The characters are impulsive and often unlike-able, the story is choppy and at times disjointed. There are at least three moments where what is said at the start of the page is contradicted later on the same page!
However, it's an absolute pageturner, and I had to keep reading.
It's possibly just a story and writing style that doesn't suit me, hence why I feel so frustrated, and rated it low.
It's definately in part the stupidity and brashness of the characters that gets under my skin. Aspects of the plot are given too much focus where they're just not that essential, and detract from other more key plot devices.
If it was a movie, I'd have been yelling at the screen.
Good book, good suspense and thriller novel.
