I can't decide. 2.5? The end I did not see coming, so half a star for that. For an abduction story, this just wasn't exciting. The abductor and abductee are in a cabin, freezing, bored, so bored, with nothing to do. Almost two months pass like this. I wish Kubica had made more interesting choices. Things could have happened, but they didn't. The dialogue was so bland and awful. Luckily we had a reprieve when the point of view switched to the detective on the case.
