First thing: don't take the rating too seriously.
Second thing: I'm open to grammar Nazis (I'm actually not sure how you spell that). I want to improve my english.

I’m not feeling very eloquent at the moment:
Good things:
1. Cool, different story. Not seen before.
2. WAY better than the movie. (The movie was really bad. Do not waste your life on it. (Even though it’s the only movie other that Skyfall that I remember seeing (new) Q in.))
3. Nice descriptions of smells.
4. Quite funny

The book is unique in storyline, writing style, narration and building climax.
It leaves a long lasting impression on mind.
