I would recommend this book


Review: Wow!! This book had such an intricate plot. It was made up of layers about people, writing about people, writing about people, writing about books!! Sounds confusing? For me, it was a little confusing, but less than I would have expected. I kept waiting for the sub-plots, or extra layers to connect and all interweave together, but in that case I was a little disappointed. When it comes to plot, the general idea and execution was well done and well written. Though, I did find some parts near the middle to get slow. I really liked most of the characters, and loved their in-depth personalities. In my opinion, overall, the goods outweighed the bads, forming a solid book. However, there were small parts throughout this book that I was less of a fan of.
