This was really interesting. I guess I don't read that many books or watch films because the story really surprised me. Even though I predicted correctly some important "mysteries" I could hardly fathom what was happening in the last few chapters. The novel is full of action, mostly psychological but there are some physical fights and breath seizing scenes. Dialogues were fast and witty, some descriptive paragraphs were boring though. Throughout the whole book I felt like I could actually see the events unfold in front of me and after I finished reading I was left with a million thoughts and emotions.
