Helpful Score: 1


I only made it through about 150 pages before finally giving it up, which is rare for me. I'll usually read a book through the end hoping it will get better but I just couldn't do it with this one. I found the writing style with the two story lines very disjointed and hard to follow. I would be just getting into the one character/story and the it would abruptly switch to the other and it would take me several pages to get into that one then it would switch again. Plus there were some odd newspaper articles and Wiki pages thrown in that were really distracting. Very strange book.
