I was excited for this because it promised a heist book... and all it gave me was a stock market meeting – or something equally as boring (apologies if you love stock market meetings). Now, Afrikaans has this wonderful word: langdradig (if you want to hear the pronunciation) – and it means wordy/tedious/drawn out. And that's exactly how I felt about the little (9%) I read.

The sentences were drawn-out (unnecessarily) – like I would be reading about the one character and it would go off on this tangent – also unnecessary and made the story more boring. Maybe the plot would've been interesting, or maybe I would've liked the characters a lot – but the writing just put me off completely. And I'm sad about that, because it looked really cool.
