Jacky Hill

Im so challenged to rate this book 2/3rds of the way in I was still engrossed and would have said one of my best reads ever or certainly in a long time.... however as many past reviewers have noted the back 1/3 loses you, it changes pace and created an anxiety that just fizzed out. After all the characters' passion and growth the book ends on a sigh. i guess Paul Murray was trying to be provocative but for me I found it really flat. Plus the name? I mean sure. but doesn't really nail it. And why 4 and not 3 stars because the first 500 pages are soo dammnnn good.
