Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I really wanted to enjoy this book, but I felt as though there were too many backstories, and too many plot twists. By the time I had read half of the novel, there were so many unfinished ideas that I was exhausted. I kept waiting for a thought to be completed, or some sort of idea to be connected with something else, but kept growing increasingly frustrated with how bigger and bigger ideas were being introduced without really fitting in with one another. I rarely give up entirely on books, but finally pushed this one aside: I felt as though my time was being wasted, and while I certainly don't mind anticipation and suspense, I didn't feel as though the pay-off was going to be worth it.
