The Supernatural Enhancements

2/26/2015

I've been neglecting my book reviews. I post pictures and brief notes on Facebook and Instagram, but I haven't written a full review in a while.
I won't be starting with this book.
But I do want to capture a few thoughts.

This is a strange book. I like it and despise it all at the same time. The style is challenging, but the story is gripping. I want to know what happens, but I just want to toss it aside and forget about it.

The story is told in bits and pieces of letters, journal entries, dream diaries, tapped conversations and transcribed surveillance video. There are detailed explanations of the codes that are used to hide messages. There is a dog named HELP and the girl hears but doesn't speak. My book group would not like all this jumping around!

Grrr... Perhaps this is the authors intent? I have less that 60 pages to go. At this point I know that I will finish.
I wonder if I'll fell differently when it's over??

We'll see.

I finished this book about an hour ago.
I'm still ambivalent.
I must have missed a very important section that holds the key to making sense of the ending.
Maybe it is written in code and I am not clever enough to figure it out.
Whatever the issue is - the book is finished and I am no closer to understanding what happened than I was when I started.
Too bad kind of, because I might have liked it if it didn't make me question my comprehension skills so much...
I need to find someone else who has read it and see if they can enlighten me.
