I'm staggering through this book for my book group, but does anyone else think it is dull and badly written, and has loads of grammatical mistakes for a book which has been so hyped up? How do books like this get published?

I finished it last week and hated it. A very odd book in all really I feel.

Me!! Bought it on Amazon after review on MN. Hated it. Then had to feign interest when my mum gave me a copy for Christmas! Glad it wasn't just me. It could've been so much better...

It was the first book I bought on my Kindle and I hated it. Overhyped rubbish.

I wasn't a fan either. I thought it was badly written, and I just about threw the book across the room when I read the ending. It was like something my son would write in his Standard Grade English exam.

i read it very quickly and I don't think i found it dull exactly, but I found quite a bit of it odd and unbelievable. most of it was resolved by the ending, which i actually found a bit unsatisfactory
