Don't bother
I really wanted to like this book. But, I found it lacking in almost every area. The character and story line were good but not developed enough. T..Show More »he characters were flat and uninteresting. The chapters were 2-3 pages long. I think the short chapters were an attempt to create suspense, but it made the book seem disjointed and disorganized. It was not a good reading experience. I gave it two stars because I liked the idea of the story. It had so much potential.
