It's not that I disliked this book, in fact, I read it in one sitting. It was an easy read but I found it to be fairly predictable. I knew quite early on who the answer to the mystery was and as a result I kind of felt like not a lot happened. There wasn't much character development and every time I thought there would be, it just kind of stopped. I guess this book just wasn't for me. There were certainly some things about the book that I liked but on the whole I feel that maybe I just needed to be about 10 years younger to appreciate this a bit more. I feel like I am totally in the minority here in not giving this book a really high rating but there is something telling me that I can't. I'm a bit confused about what it is that I missed that so many others loved. I guess you'll have to read it to find out for yourselves!
