 As I worked my way through this book, I occasionally found it confusing, and unusual. I finished it this morning after I woke up early, and the ending just caught me by surprise. 

I'm sure that many people would see the ending coming. I'm a person that just really becomes involved in the story and follow along engrossed. The ending here surprised me, it definitely helped that some information was kept back until the final chapters of the book.

Really well executed. Great read. I'd recommend it.
