I just finished the first Chapter and this book is interesting in how it is composed. The book seems to be a bunch of fictional documents that tell a story in parts through interview transcripts, emails, etc... It starts off with a bang, but I'm not sure if I like the format yet.

I'm still waiting on my copy. Hope it arrives soon. What don't you like about the format, if you can share without giving away spoilers?
I'm just not sure if I like the format because it seems like the story could jump around quite a bit. It could end up being a bunch of short stories with many different characters that you never really get invested in. I'm still only a few pages in, so we'll see how it goes. I'm enjoying it so far. I also found it amusing how they redacted certain words.
There are 3 books in this series. If we all agree that it is good then we might finish out the series. I'll post the question later once we've had a chance to mostly read it. The sequels should be stand alone books if they are molded from this same format.
