My Thoughts
The story on it's own isn't so bad. To be honest I would say it is good and captivating but... Yes there are to many 'but's' in this book and absurdity of procedure and the lack of proper way to handle mentally unstable person that it irritated me to no end. I would say that this book was more fiction thancriminal and the worst thing for me was that at the very beginning I've figured out the big secret that the author revels almost at the end of the book. So for me it was a bust but it isn't to say that this book doesn't have some good merits. So I do recommend it but please be aware hat you as a rider can sometimes get bored.
