Normally I hate it when books have really fast plots, but this book needed it. If I started reading it again, I was not going to want to stop until I reached the end. Still, once I was halfway through the novel, I put it down and refused to pick it up again until I had a solid chunk of time to devote to it. Even so, I pictured a mini-Benedict Cumberbatch throughout the entire novel. This unexpected sign of humanity is really refreshing.
