I finished The Almost Moon the night before the day 1 of the big exam. My take: disappointing.I figured out why I was so motivated to keep reading though. The author started out the book with multi-page flashbacks about Helen's earlier life, followed by pages about her current mishaps. As the book progressed, they were more paragraph-length flashbacks, and by near the end some of them were only parts of sentences. It built to sort of a frenzy, which was great for the suspense. But I found the ending, once I got there (5 weeks after I started) to be a bit of a let-down.
Oh well. I guess not every book can be the best book I've ever read.
