I was very excited to get my hands on this book, as the premise sounded unlike anything I had read before. However, very quickly issues with the book became apparent. The first issue I noticed was that in several chapters it would be a mix of third person and first person. We were in first person, but jumping into the minds of other people. It didn't make sense that the main character would understand the thought and intentions behind each individual in the story. The second issue I found was the excessive use of adverbs to describe what people were saying. The '-ly' adverbs became very distracting.
It was also very difficult to keep up with all of the characters. I don't feel like I really got to know them and their descriptors, so it was difficult to keep them all straight. This was the same issue I had with the 7 1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle.
