The cover on the book is very clever and the summary on the back definately gets your interest but the book itself is such a disappointment. I read the start, skipped the middle and read the end - something I very rarely do. Most of the detail in the book I found uninteresting and only served to alienate me from the main character rather than make me like him or at least remain interested in him. Very disappointing read!

Quite a disappointment. The blurb on the cover says, "Cool, sexy and sinister". I would say, "Pretentious, no sex and sinister" - they got the last bit right, anyway. I suppose it's a bit of a psychological thriller, but it's too wordy and, well, pretentious. Maybe it lost out in the translation, but I suspect it's just a dense style of writing. I find the characters rather unbelievable.

I do give it credit for the ending, though. It was obvious that something dark was going to happen, but I certainly didn't guess exactly what until the last few pages. ( )
