Despite rushing through this book in almost one sitting, despite the action starting almost from page 1, the story felt somehow slow and especially 'silent' - but in a weird, good way. Does that make sense? The subject of the book was really scary, most of all I guess because it was based on current conditions - so what if something like the disturbing scenario would happen in reality? It doesn't seem that far-fetched, or does it? While the novella was too short to delve into all characters with decent depth, it provided enough information to feel connected to and care about them. This was in equal measure an uncomfortable and unputdownable read.
