review 1: I enjoyed this book far more than I expected to after the handful of reviews I skimmed through before reading it. A few people have complained about how nasty the characters are to each other, but that was one of the things I found refreshing about it: the characters weren't all good or all bad, with inherently perfect or imperfect lives; sometimes they were just alright people who found each other irritating and sometimes did or said crappy things. You know, like in real life. The plot, on the other hand, was hit and miss. I was completely drawn in to start with, and it kept me hooked for about 80% of the way through. And then...it wasn't so much a disappointing ending as just so incredibly implausible that 1) I couldn't buy any of it as a realistic scenario; and 2) I cou... moreldn't buy that Super Detective Waterhouse would work it out (just in the nick of time, natch). I honestly would have given this 5 stars for entertainment value if not for the fact that the last 50 pages or so just had me going OH, COME ON!
review 2: I finished the book in one breath, cause i am that kind of person who can't stand all the unsolved puzzle. I wanted to know who is the bad guy so bad. haha. i have came to understanding that this is the 6th book of the spilling series, which expains the appearance of all the non-relevant characters, like charlie and sam, even simon. all they are doing is telling their speculations. anyhow, if you were like me who can never beared the curiousity, this should be a good book with decent writting in it. less
