You know, I'm really good about posting my book reviews on Goodreads & Amazon, but I have no excuse for not posting them here as well, so I'll try to be a bit more diligent...In an attempt to get the ball rolling, the latest book I read was Fifteen Digits by Nick Santora.
I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked the writing a lot, I really liked a lot of the characters, however I was frustrated because about a fourth of the way through (if not sooner) it became very obvious where the book was heading. Shortly after that, Santora started telling us what was going to happen before it happened such as, "that was the last time they ever spoke" and other bits of foreshadowing. I hate when authors do that. How about letting us get to the part when one of them dies before we find out that one of them is going to die?
So, the book had promise, was certainly interesting, but was also extremely frustrating and not very surprising in the end since Santora had already given it much of the story away.
Overall, I gave 3 out of 5 stars.
