“An edge-of-your-seat thrill ride”, or some variation thereof, has been used so often that it’s now more useful as a laughable cliche than a true description, much like the 1987 movie ‘The Running Man’.
In this case, it’s completely true. You don’t read this book chapter by chapter, a few nights a week. You start reading and you turn the pages at much the same feverish pace as it was written. That’s how it’s meant to be read, and that’s how it works. And it works brilliantly. It’s a bit rough around the edges, sure…but it will leave you either blown away or empty. If you’re willing to take the chance, go for it…it’s only a book, after all, right?
