Do you ever feel like you are reading the same book over and over? I’m an outlier here. I thought the book was good, not great. There weren’t many surprises, a ton of zigzagging in time (over a two-day weekend), and when a murder finally occurred it was anticlimactic. The victim was a piece of work and everyone could have cheered at the death (ten people on a train could have committed it in the dark as the train barreled through a tunnel). To add insult to injury, an unnecessary epilogue was tacked onto the end. I was reading One by One at the same time and I had to stop because I thought I was reading the same book (like a soap opera whose plot never changes after ten years) - No matter where I picked up, I felt like I hadn’t missed anything. I stopped the Ware to finish The Guest List. I’ll go back to the Ware next week, after I’ve cleaned my palate.

I don't mean to be cranky, I'm disappointed.
