Meh?

I really wanted to like this book, but I felt like the story was all build up and no deliverance. The so called "twists" that this book have were pretty evident to me from the beginning and it just felt like any old book about a thief. I did not find Charlie Hall very compelling as a main character, nor were the lovemaking scenes as steamy as the reviews made them out to be. It took me forever to find the drive to finish this book and it is just not my cup of tea.

Happy to have the book, unhappy with the book

I ordered a hardback version of the book, and it was not disclosed that I would be getting a BOTM Club book, which has BOTM branding on the spine of both the book and dust jacket and on the from of the dust jacket. I'm just disappointed that I wasn't made aware that I would be getting a BOTM Club book instead a normal print one.
