I liked this book and I would have rated this book 4 stars or higher, but can’t justify it due to the ending and the ampersands. I do think it is a worthwhile read, but be prepared for disappointing ending.












I liked this book very much--until the ending. Very disappointing ending. And I found the use of ampersands to be extremely distracting.

Overall, I liked the book. It was unique and an enjoyable read.

I enjoyed the character development, but was left disappointed. I felt we only got a glimpse into the story and what it supposed to tie them together was left incomplete. I didn\'t quit understand the style of writing with the ampersand and thought it was overused.

 
  "Interesting story, but..." by stephers85 (see profile) 07/17/14

The majority of our members were distracted and disappointed with the writing style. We found the story compelling enough to want to continue reading, but the story didn\\\'t get anywhere. The ending, or lack there of, was a complete disappointment to all but one of our members.

Stories were interesting but the ending was annoying. Felt like the author just stopped in the middle of a thought.
