did like it, more a 2 and 1/2, though all the hype about the author might have prejudiced me against it. must say could see what was all excitement about the writing, or maybe first time writers are getting really bad? (and yes i have read really bad writing!!!) so all the while i was thinking that rowling has written this and then leaked out that she did!!! and then the story, it started slow and then you got into it and the characters and i really liked it all till the end chapeters which was a 2 star one! it was one fake and sensational ending, i could see that killer couldn't be anyone but the one who was revealed as the killer and yet till the last minute i was hoping that it was not, it was just too fake and hollywoodish (so unlike the middle chapters which really rather nice and definitely 3 and 1/2 stars bah hoping to see more reviews and some saying what i'm feeling! feeling a bit used!!! :) though i will definitely read another book by galbraith's, so both ok and not ok, though more an ok and so not 2 but 3 stars
