This book is just "ok". It is a very interesting and thought-provoking story, but not one to read if you like a book that answers all it's questions and ties up all loose ends at the end of the story. The story has no real clear beginning or end.

What I did like about the book is that I felt I was really there in the story. The descriptions of the environment are so detailed I felt like I was in the story. It made me a little nervous in the dark at my house!

This is definitely not a long read. It has < 300 pages and there are huge paragraph breaks, and the font is probably size 14. :) Don't expect to get much reading time out of this. I finished it in a day and a half.
