Started as a very nice Jekyll and Hyde kind of a book that was written well and its plot is set in modern time. However, it reads kind of like the Hulk comic book. I liked the begining more than the turn it took later on in the book; The beginning was a bit more believable as something that might happen in the future and a bit after the middle of the book, it just started to feel like I wanted to finish the book only so I could find out what happend eventually, but it dragged on and it was much less eneoyable for me. Maybe I just expected too much after reading the raving reviews... I don't know.
