Disappointing read. It was a slow start for me to get into this one. Even though the basic concept attracted me to the book, the characters were mostly not likeable (and rather stupid all around), and this made it hard to get drawn in. So, it took me a really long time to read. I finally started to really get into it three quarters of the way through, mostly out of interest in seeing how the author wrapped things up. However, the author simply did not wrap anything up. There is no ending and no resolution. The book just suddenly abruptly ends. We are just left hanging. I cannot recommend this book, because it feels like it is only three quarters of a book that just stops. Disappointing after such an unusual premise and setting.
