Review
I've got mixed feelings about this book.
I was certainly intrigued by the premise of the book. What was that seemingly impossible interview question going to be?
I got a bit of a sinking feeling when I wondered if the whole book was just going to be in this office, the interviewer and interviewee - and it's a long book. I needn't have worried, although this is the core of the book there are some other characters thank goodness.
Fast paced with the action but at times a slow moving plot meant I did begin to scan read some of it. I'm not one for over detailed descriptions of what is happening and if that is your thing then this will be ideal for you. Belief has to be suspended at times, but I was happy to go along with it.
I had an inkling about a couple of things and was partially right, but not for the right reason. There was a big shock and actually for me that's when the book lost some of it's traction. However, that didn't stop me racing through it to find out what the outcome of "the interview" would be.
I'm giving this book 4 out of 5 stars. My thanks to netgalley for the ARC to review.
