I find myself a little confused on how to write a review for this book. While the read was easy and I found myself looking forward to picking up where I left off, I see now that I was searching for the content this story needed but never developed. Perhaps it was authors stab at trying to write an original Fitzgeraldesque novel and spicing it up with some mystery that would appeal to a broader audience. The only problem is, without writing a thousand page novel, there is no way to get the Fitzgerald type character development they are looking for and still have a solid story unfold, leaving a pretty hollow book with the reader really desiring a lot more. Don't get me wrong, there are glimpses of good writing, perhaps with time the author/s will develop better story telling abilities.Needless to say, I'm surprised at the popularity of this book.
