Totally twisted in the best way possible.When the author himself writes a prologue asking you to please not read the book and apologizing in advance for it being completely idiotic, you know something's wrong. After that prologye, i had to read it of course. How bad could it be? Well, pretty bad and ludicrous in fact, but also fun and with a good energy to it. Harlan Coben was right to warn people away.

The author's note in the beginning of this one pretty much sums up my feelings for the story. It wasn't terrible, the story is fine, but it's definitely not great. The story felt a little over the top by in quite a few places. I'm not a sports fan and that may have also played into why I lost interest in parts. I really enjoyed the beginning where everything was a little confusing and everyone was a little shady, but overall this was just engaging enough for me to finish. I'm glad that I finally
