Review: "I don't love anyone but myself anymore" (Will have to read Part 2 on the strength of story alone)
Rating: 3 out of 5

Book is more or less about a conspiracy theory involving what really brought down the Twin Towers with many other side tangents. Took me about a third of the way in before I became actively engaged with the storyline as I never connected with a single character (hence my title which I culled from the end of part 1). Dominant theme I gathered from two passages that read "Politicians and generals ruined your whole life. That's who you should hate with all your heart." Theme is workable, but books leaves me questioning how Zoe found out about the "Family" in the first place (maybe her father?) and whether comparing America to Nazi Germany really works. To its' credit, book builds suspense gradually as it is precisely measured, is clearly hard-boiled which I like, and I can't help but wondering how the book finishes (Am glad I downloaded part 2 at the same time for that reason). Going to need some help from other reviewers as to whether it's a very good read overall - which is exactly why reading part 2 is a must!
