I was expecting too much from this book because of the hype. The first part was enticing and I found myself trying to decide if this was going to be a shocking mystery, or some deep story. It was neither. There were too many plot lines, too many unedited spins to nowhere and it all just led to a big clunk for me.

I was reading this book and felt that this was one of the best books I had ever read. Until I got to the end. Then, I hated it! My sister bought me this book for Christmas knowing how much I love my dogs.I have turned off my TV recently and wanted to escape the state of affairs in this country. After, I had finished the book I was horrified. It was very upsetting. I don't know if anyone else feels the same way. The ending was depressing. What happened to Forte? Even if I "missed the point" I wouldn't recommend this book without a warning about it's ending.
