This book was catchy at times and terribly slow at others. While the plot line begs the reader to turn the page, the overwhelming description of non essential information on artists, musicians etc made the book slow at times. It was also frustrating that The Sunday Philosophy Club never meets. I have been informed that this book is a setup book for a series which would explain some of the over detailing and why the club did not meet in this particular book. Still this is an insightful book. The ending was unoriginal and frustrating but it will generate GREAT discussion and it worth a read.
