Pros:
Great story line that kept me interested the entire time. Sounds like it would be a great movie. I loved the mystery. With the turn of every page I wondered if the next page would scare me. Although it wasn't scary (to me), it gave you the feeling that soon you would be. Regardless of the things I didn't like of the book, it's still worth the read & I'm willing to disregard these things. I enjoyed the story, the characters and I appreciate the author for trying to paint the visual.

Cons:
I'm not sure why the suicide happened. CORRECTION: I do know why it happened, I just don't understand the timing of the suicide. I kept thinking, "why now". It seems like the author added too many personal thoughts of the characters, which seemed "random" at times. I felt like he was trying to fill the pages of the book.

All in all, it's a great read, very interesting and different story line.
