WHAT A MESS!
Too bad you can't give negative stars!
Sorry to admit, I spent days reading this horrendous excuse for a novel. As in earlier reviews, I'm bewildered at the total absence of editing. Have the major publishers eliminated that job?
The plot (and I use the term loosely) meandered in every conceivable direction. Notwithstanding the full-page bibliography, was there any purposeful research done prior to writing this book? The author left at least one major character hanging, never to mention them again.
There are any number of better ways to spend your money and your leisure time.

This book is unlike anything I've read. Much more than the back of the book implies, this was a great suspense with such a unique plot that the 596 pages read very quickly. I was very skeptical at first, due to some bad reviews...but I've learned what I've always known...never let a review (good or bad) sway your decision to read a book. As long as you have an open mind to some unconventional topics and happenings...this outstanding psycological thriller is a great read, guaranteed to keep your interest and make you think!!!
