3.25-3.5 
 This... was disappointing and I didn't even realize I had expectations. I really didn't like the graphic depictions of violence, it felt voyeuristic and unnecessary sometimes which made it really hard to enjoy the book. It's getting a 3 because elements either made me happy or unhappy and they balanced each other to an ok rating. I... am not going to recommend this book, I think that you can easily live without this book, if the concept of the book intrigues you as it did me, I think that you'll enjoy it about as much as I did. If you wanted to just read a thrilling murder mystery novel, I think you'll be disappointed as it isn't exactly thrilling... at least in my opinion. 
 Things I liked: 
 Kirby. Dan. The idea of the book. The setting (Chicago!!!). The fact that my birthday was a common date in the book.
