This wasn't a book I really had  much interest in reading, but my wife read it and insisted I read it as well.  I'm glad she did.  I didn't love the book, but it was a real page turner and I always hated to put it down, that's a good sign right?  But I only found two of the characters really sympathetic, and both had very minor parts in the story even though the plot was often driven by what the protagonist had done/was doing to them.
 
In the end, I'm glad I read it but I have zero interest in reading anything else by the author.
