I absolutely loved this book! It easily became one of my favorites. I could not put this book down. It was fast paced and a true page Turner. The chapters were short but that wasnt really a problem for me. I couldn't believe the twists and turns in this book especially the ending. I honestly don't know how I didn't pick up on it sooner. Nothing about this book disappointed me. I can't wait to read more books by this author. I think all the hype surrounding this book was worth it. To be one of his first novels it was well written and executed very well. Both characters Theo Faber and Alicia Berenson were interesting characters. most of the book is narrated by Theo and then some are by Alicia. The switch between the two characters was done great.
