Another great Sager read, however it isn't quite on the same level as the others. Although fast paced, mysterious and thrilling I found quite a few issues/things I didn't like. Slight spoilers below...

  
Not a fan of the back and forth point of view, only because it wasn't done soon enough or often enough. When it started happening I felt a bit of whiplash. When we get Marge's first POV it makes ZERO sense to her plot/storyline. Some of Charlies "movies" were hard to distinguish between real life, which I understand was kind of the point but just made parts of the book confusing. I HATED the last 4 pages that took place in the future. I truly think it ruined the ending of the book.
