The more I read the less I could put the book down. I had a guess early on, then added a second option part way through, a third presented itself but I felt it to be a red herring. In the end I was wrong. Shocked when the answer was made plain.

I can not speak to the accuracy of the medical details. As I don't have the knowledge to understand or know how true it was I admit to skimming some of the denser medical sections. However, the overall plot, characters, dialogue, etc. were incredibly well written. Enough so that I was invested in the story, pulled along, wanting, waiting, yearning to know who was the monster.

I do not typically read this kind of book and only read this for bookclub. I did enjoy it, appreciated the writing, and look forward to the discussion I will undoubtedly have about the story. Though, I find it highly unlikely that I will ever reread this tale which is why I do not give it more stars.
