Excellent book.. however I feel the first half of the book is bit boring.. author unnecessarily exaggerated the things..but the 2nd half definitely worth the hype..

Where the quality of the book is decent enough as per its cost, the story is just amazing! Keeps one on the edge to know what will happen next!
However, I would suggest the book to a person who has patience as far as reading is concerned as the story gets interesting after some time and then the twist makes u realise it was interesting throughout!!

It was really boring in the starting but as soon as the page turned…a lot of twists came… the book is great…. but it’s not much of a mystery….I feel that this book is kinda over rated ….but that shouldn’t stop you from giving a shot to this book… just don’t keep much of expectations and you’ll enjoy it

Overall it’s a good book but story is not that engaging. When we order books of these genre we expect it to be very gripping but while reading this i feel boredom.
