This book definitely tries to keep your mind working at ALL times. Turton's style of writing and the sheer intelligence it takes to write a novel with a broken timeline, is something I will always admire about this book. HOWEVER, it does drag a bit. If you're reading the book JUST to find out what happens in the end/how the timeline ends up coming together, it'll have you thinking, "UGH, this is good but needs to come to an end."

I appreciated the book because I enjoy the journey of learning an author's "genius" (as Virginia Woolf would say) in their writing, but if you just want to read it for the murder/mystery aspect, you'll be WAITING for it to finally come together. It's an amazing read if you can hold out until the end, though. It is wrapped up very nicely.

A tip for reading understanding the broken timeline: don't try to figure it out and don't try to follow what day involves what host (that will make sense if you read it). Just enjoy the story because EVERYTHING gets explained. If you're even a little lost, just keep reading. Turton does an amazing job of explaining any little detail at some point during the book.
