Review: Could not finish...
Rating: 3 out of 5

I simply could not *get into* this book.  I only got to 34% before putting it down.  (Actually, I put it down initially at about 20% but the generally good reviews made me reconsider and continue on.)I guess my overwhelming impression is 'formulaic'.  The thing is, I can't even point at specifically why that word springs to mind but it does.To be fair, the writing itself is fine (though I noticed deep puncture marks being described as 'nearly 3 mm deep' which is only 1/8th of an inch).  More importantly, scene breaks were not always shown.  As an example, at location 921, the story jumped from the main character dreaming to two people in a car talking.  But there's no line break or anything to indicate the jump.  I had to go back and re-read it a couple of times to figure out what was going on.
