Half way through I almost gave up on it as it was so slow and plodding. All of the ‘twists' were so telegraphed from the start and the contrivances conjured up to stop the protagonist from finding out too early what we all knew already was maddening. However, around half way through the book became more about the characters and how they cope with such a distressing situation instead of the paper thin plot and at that point it started draw me in to the point I couldn't wait to find out how it ended. First half 2 stars, second half 4.
