Thank you again. Would also like to hear your thoughts on True Detective.

Some Questions To Consider:

1.     Characters - are they consistent, believable?

2.     Dialogue - does anything ring wrong to you?

3.     Pace - At any point does the book bog down for you?

4.     The mystery - does it unfold effectively? Do you feel you've been
treated "fairly" by the author i.e. had a chance to figure it out for
yourself?

5.     Confusion - At any point were you confused, unclear or in the dark
about anything?

6.     The end - does it payoff? Is it satisfying or a letdown?
