I give this book points for being unique, but that's about it. 
 It was creepy, and not in a good way. The entire time I was reading it, I was saying to myself, "This is creepy and I don't like it." However, I did force myself to read the entire book, instead of giving up after the first 15 pages like I wanted to do. 
 Much of the problem I had was that it was just creepy. Not scary-creepy or interesting-creepy, which may have held my attention. Not enough to give me nightmares or anything, but just to feel disturbed. Which, I suppose is a credit to the author, but it was an unpleasant experience for me. 
 Towards the end of the book, the action picked up and it became more interesting, but not enough (in my opinion) to redeem the book. It also seems that it is setting up for a sequel, but I don't know that I will read the sequel. Perhaps it will be less creepy and more interesting, now that I know what's going on. 
 So, that's my 2 cents. If you want to read something unique and out of the box and don't mind creepy, go ahead and pick up this book. You may like it a lot more than I did. After all, it's a New York Times Bestseller, right?
