I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand it is very well-written with some very intriguing characters. It deals with some very real issues in modern western society. However I felt the book was a little let down but its too happy ending. Admittedly 3 people died at the end, and the book was very depressing to read so it probably needed some positive energy to alleviate, but it felt too unrealistic especially when compared to the rest of the book.

This book started off slowly for me, however it quickly turned into a page turner that I couldn't put down. Absolutely recommend!
