Unlike books that I have read before. ‘A’ for originality! Fast moving, jumps from scene to scene. Format is different and keeps you turning pages. Very funny at times. Jerome is funny at the end! Possible movie someday? It’s that original and high-concept... but the first 25-30% is LOW concept which appears to be intentional. I like the way the sinister plot is revealed. Reader learns as characters learn.

This book needs better editing. The chapters are incredibly short and choppy. The dialogue is halting; it might be good as a film script but as a novel it doesn’t work. The idea seems cool and has potential but it needs to be put together in a more cohesive way.

This book was so confusing in the beginning. There are so many characters introduced at once and I had no idea what was going on. I almost DNF'd it because of this but after the 50% mark things started to clear up which helped me continue on and I'm glad I did.
