I never thought about not finishing this book, and for quite a tome I read it quickly in not many sittings. Cetainly a different premise and I appreciated the fresh plot and setting. But... too many times I was up, then down, then up again in my enjoyment. Didn't really buy into its reality. Too many breadcrumbs scattered around. A thriller that really wasn't. One too many "here's the big reveal" moments. But... really liked the two secondary characters. Was a sucker for the articles, websites, etc. sprinkled throughout. Appreciated the mirror ending. Have enough respect to want to try Pessl's first, highly acclaimed novel.
