Color me shocked: Based on all the reviews I read about this novel, I expected to love it. I put it on all my Wishlists and waited impatiently to borrow a copy from a far-off library. I expected to be frightened, disgusted, haunted, thrilled ... I was utterly bored. I didn't find any character interesting in the least, for either good or bad. I found the main character's dilemna and goal(s) didn't touch me at all. I found nothing interesting, lovable, or even hateful in him - I felt nothing except boredom. He was dull. I didn't find any of the graphic scenes of violence and/or sex to be, well, graphic at all. They were uninteresting and almost non-existent. I'm currently reading a lightweight romance novel that has more violence, gore and sex in it, far more shocking and intense, than this novel. Given the nature of the story, this book should have been exciting and riveting, action-packed, suspenseful, a nail-biter, one of those books you can't put down. It wasn't. I feel like I must have read a completely different version that everyone else read.
