I thought that this book was good, kinda. I fully enjoyed the first half, and then it started to go downhill. The description of 9/11 and the worry and sadness that is prompted from the reader about the characters of the story, along with the sadness that you feel for those missing was well written. After this, the book goes down a wild road. There were a number of times while reading, that I would think to myself, "Why would you do that?" or "Who actually does that?" It feels like a lot of this book had plot written just for shock value and a lot of things just didn't add up right. And the ending was...so odd, and so unrealistic that it doesn't make sense.
