This book didn't wow me at all. The plot sounds great. Perfect for me, unfortunately the same can't be said for the actual book. 

I didn't finish, I couldn't force myself. I have a pile of books currently all wanting my attention, and this book just bored me. I got to 30% and I was constantly yawning. 

It wasn't the story that ruined it for me. It was the characters themselves. I didn't feel like that had any substance, everything they did and said fell flat for me and I abandoned the book. 

Maybe it's for the younger generation. 

No rating because I didn't finish it.
