I'm not sure if I built this up too much in my head or what, but in the long run I ended up being disappointed. The book was just okay. Weird in parts and slow off and on, but still a pretty quick read considering. I liked a lot in the middle, even if it was completely predictable, and really disliked some at the end. Glad I finally read it, but not what I was hoping for. Probably my least favorite parallel life book to date.
