4.0

All the way until the end I really did like this book. It was incredibly mysterious and from the point of the view of the victims of Slade House, I never knew what had been real and what had been fake.
I still liked the ending, but it didn't leave me completely satisfied. I think it began to get too caught up in all the specifics of Slade House and the Grayer twins.
Overall though, I generally did enjoy this book, but just got a little lost in some of the jargon. The narrator of each section was unique and distinctive. I followed them through Slade House, and each character had a new experience and feelings toward their situation, life, etc..
