It isn't quite a mystery because the end was mostly revealed at the beginning. I find that the characters themselves are intriguing enough to keep me reading to find out more. The sentence flow and word choice are confusing at times. I have wondered if that is intentional to build that ambiguous feeling, but I can't say for sure. I have no idea what to expect from the rest of the book!

I wanted to read some holiday books and found this on a list of recommended reads. I was disappointed the whole way through and it wasn't getting any better. I finally decided to stop.

I'm having trouble with this book. I loved Amy on jeopardy but this book feels like a draft with her thoughts of what she wants to put in a book. Also, so far very little mention of jeopardy.

I enjoy the setup of this book. My issue with it is that there is no suspense. He deals with some very real issues and I love the intelligent debates and lessons he learns but I don't get what the story is building to. It seems like it is just a story about his day to day. I fully plan to finish this but I had to take a break.

I picked this up because everyone is saying it's the best book ever and everything but it was so boring! It jumps around timelines so often that you can't connect with any character or story line so I constantly was just waiting to go back to the other story, whichever story I wasn't reading. And both storylines have nothing happening! In short, disappointing. I'll consider finishing later.

Stopped at chapter 15. I tried so hard to like this book but it just dragged on. There was nothing to hook me in to wanting to know more. I didn't care about the characters at all. I finally gave up at 52%. At least I made it more than half!
