I will give a book about 100 pages to get into the story and then move along at a good clip but this one was so slow and so boring by page 100 I just couldn't continue. This is a first 'adult' novel for Johnston but he'll have to get better before I'd try to follow his writing, just not written very good at all and I absolutely hate italics! don't understand what anyone thinks it adds to a book or story it's just and irritation in the writing style. I thought it would be a thriller but by the time I quit I didn't care about any of them or what happened to the girl.
