   A must-read for seasoned bookworms, this is an incredibly mind-bending novel with endless plot twists and turns. The story is full of unexpected turns and suspense, without any forced attempts to make it more simplistic. The only drawback is the numerous typos in the later parts; otherwise, its rating would be much higher.
