I read the first section, or plodded through it, and right when it caught my attention, it ended! Gimmicky? Yeah, methinks so. I tried the next section and then while reading noticed the book had fallen to the floor - well, it put me to sleep is why. When a books makes me nod off, it's time to throw the book away.
