3.5 Anyone who likes conspiracy theories, police procedurals and sci-fi will love this book. I enjoyed it quite a lot, once I got over the little things that irritated me about it. The story is unique and compelling and the ending is not predictable at all. It didn't do that thing I hate so much (fo...
