Ending unexpected, book content also not expected

I had high hopes for this book based on other reviews. But for me it only got interesting when there were 4 hours to go. The overall plot, climax and resolution left me wanting. Similar to getting sucked into a show that isn’t completely entertaining, but attention grabbing enough that you can’t turn it off thinking it will get better. Just to come to terms afterwords that you won’t get your wasted time back.

The performance was amazing but the rest is a flop. Sorry.

A bit weak

I guess I expected more. Seemed a little weak and fabricated. Many threads not tied up.
