I absolutely love this premise and a lot of the execution. Some of the content bothered me a little bit (and not in a good skin-ripping-from-hand way). I really dislike the last 30 or so pages of this book. Was not needed.

Intense. It kept me on engaged from start to finish. I could sense the anxiety and panic.

Technically a 4.5 I'd have bumped up to a 5, but the ending dragged so we back down on 4, my guys.

Powered through the whole thing in a day and a half because it has that can't-put-it-down-because-of-all-these-goddamn-cliffhangers pacing that I adore in books. Amazing concept that makes even shit like grabbing a glass of water off a shelf an intensely suspenseful experience. The inner voices are really characters of their own as well. I had a great time until the whole post-handcuff situation started rolling, which - compared to the rest of the book before it - was boring and felt kind of aimless up until the courtroom. Yes I will be watching the movie.
