Although this book kept my attention and I did finish it in less than 2 days, I was still left a little unsettled regarding my opinion. On the one hand, I think it is written fairly well. But on the other, the storyline felt almost juvenile at times, mostly the dialog, it was stiff and contrived. This is not a light read, so the dark subject matter conflicts with the strange, light character interactions. Worth the read, but in the end I was left wanting. A story that would have normally haunted me due to its darkness, instead will be erased from my memory far sooner than it should. Liked it for its deep, dark concept, disliked its inability to really effect me.
