First the cover: Fascinating and intriguing. I like it.

Now for the story:

This is a wonderful premise, and a story so unique (to me at least) that I couldn't wait to get into it. This story starts strong, the reader being brought into the world at a smooth, steady pace. But for me that pace wasn't kept. The engine blew and it sputtered to the point that I lost interest. So much happens in the story and it's all so wonderful and new, but then (for me) it became a case of same ole same ole. It's as though the story reached the mountain top far before it was supposed to.

I enjoyed the first person. I got a thrill from the world created by Cline, I really did so I urge you to read the story for yourself. Maybe you'll reach the top of that mountain later than I do. I did buy the book, and even though I couldn't finish it, I will one day. I got to get my moneys worth after all. Now, I know you're thinking that I shouldn't review the book if I don't know how it ends. But you're wrong and the reason being is that I don't care how it ends. I reached the summit of my interest and I'm good. I'm comfortable.
