Review: Chic lit meets nouveau youth and keeps you guessing till the end..
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 02 7, 2012
It is very chic lit meets nouveau youth and it spirals to a thriller cresendo only to fall into a M&B type ending. It was hard to place and I felt as if I was reading a book that will spark the attention of the younger generation, because the characters, music, the technology and the language all felt very 2012. Except for the brilliant references and ode to 80s music, I swear at one point I could hear Billy Idol singing along there in my head. It pulled me along for a fast ride, eventhough I think there were too many dates, and as the reader enters into Bens room it felt like a Hitchcockian thriller. The ensueing dark abyss the reader gets sucked into was well executed and kept me guessing. At one point I thought there was three or four of them. I think the last few pages were a let down, because it didn't gel with the rest of it and suddenly swang in an entirely different direction. Interesting read.
