Very disappointing! What happens in the book can be summarized in a paragraph. The rest is just slow and at times a little uninteresting. But the one thing that annoyed me the most was that at the end of the book you know much less that you started with. There are so many unanswered questions, I felt cheated.
It felt that I was 200 pages in a 600 pages book except the book is only 200 pages. The only character we go deep into in the narrator. The action of the other actors in the book makes little sense. When I finished the book, I was thinking "Wait, where is the rest?". Read at your own risk.
