This book was frustrating, the story became very predictable because characters were so one dimensional. They made painstakingly obvious dumb decision after dumb decision and they were so physically weak and inept (despite how active they were described) it was embarrassing. The Scooby-Doo reference was pretty accurate. And still, I give it 3 stars because despite catching on to how each scenario was going to play out, I still had the desire to finish it, with hope there was redemption in the end, there was very little there, but I finished it.
