DNF at 58%

I liked Eli. There was a believable connection between Brooklyn and Eli but the other relationships felt hollow. The psychiatric institute as a weird college/school thing felt like a cop out in terms of writing. Pick one or the other. The combo didn't work. The characters are supposed to be college age but they felt more like teenagers. That might have been because it felt like they were attending high school classes, school yard bullies included. And for being such a long book you really don't get much story. There are a few flashbacks/explanations of the past to connect to the present storyline, but very little actually happens to move the story forward. I like how dark and twisted the characters were but reading the book was starting to feel like a chore, so DNF.
