It was an interesting story, but toward the middle of the book, the author changed the narrative voice by switching it from solely the protagonist's to the protagonist's plus like 10 other people's. It seemed like a really cheap way to expose the thoughts and motivations of the other characters in the story – the author just spelled it out, basically. I also thought the writing was a little subpar compared to that of Donahue's later novel, Room.
