What a crazy ride...I was skeptical of this story until about half way through and then it really picked up for me. Enough that it is now 2 am and I had to stay up and finish to see how it all came together. I don't think this book is for everyone, but I am interested to see what others think. 
 Side note: I did not enjoy the Night Circus, which is the main book this one is being compared to, but I did enjoy this book.
