Closer to a 3.5 stars rating for me personally. This is the type of book that many people love but I just wasn't feeling it. However, it is a good book that will gain your interests and intrigue.

Not a single part was boring or confusing ...more

I enjoyed this book very much. The lack of detail about the actually competition made me feel as if I were Marco or Celia living in this circus wondering what the outcome of the whole game is about.

I normally do not like slow paste books but this one was well worth the read.
