Well, I thought I was going to love this book about 40% of the way through. However, I feel like it ended up falling a little flat for me. I think it built up and built up, then steadily fell without a real climax or resolution. 

Wen is an autistic and adorable girl, and I love Andrew and Eric's banter. Leonard, as well at the others are all interesting characters too. The premise is AMAZING, which makes it such a bummer it fell so flat. Other then the graphic scenes, I'm not so sure this ticks the horror box for me either. I just really wanted more.
