Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My first clue should have been that this book didn't have the "Look Inside" option where you can preview the first few pages. If I had, I wouldn't have chosen it. I'm an avid reader, and as a matter of principal, I finish what I start, but honestly, it was hard. There were too many characters, too many storylines, far too much jumping back and forth. I've read other books with a similar format and it has worked, but this book, for me, simply did not. I found not one character I felt vested enough in to care about, it just felt to me that the author threw everything in to the many plotlines, including the proverbial kitchen sink, to try and make a suspenseful story, but in my humble opinion, it fell flat.
