Have you ever driven by stretches of houses wondering what life was like behind those walls? Now imagine driving past them daily, the stories you can make up in your own mind of the people inside, their lives, even giving them names. What happens when you see something, something that changes how you think of these people. What do you do?
What do you do when you don't know who to trust? When everything is lie, or everything is a black hole because you can't bear the reality so you drink away the ...more

Everyone and their brother seems to have read this one, so I thought it was time I gave into peer pressure and gave it a go.
I enjoyed this one for the most part. I wasn't as blown away as I expected to be with all the hype surrounding it. It kept me guessing until the end though. There were a couple things that really didn't make any sense, and I didn't find a single character particularly likable. But overall I am glad I gave it a go.

The first book I've read in a couple of years. I finally found a book that kept my interest all the way to the end and helped rekindle my love for reading.
Fast read. Although, the characters were all so unlikable , I was still invested in the plot until the end. It took me a while to figure out "who done it", but it wasn't unpredictable. Someone quicker than me will probably figure it out sooner but still worth the read. ...more
