Great read.  Right up until the last page

And I mean that literally.  It was great - right up until the end. If you want to call it an end.  Im old school.  Stories need a beginning, a middle and an end.  I don't need a happy ending.  Im OK with a miserable ending. But I need an ending.  This book gave me a beginning and a middle that just stopped.  And thats a damn shame because its a great premise and very well written - a real page turner with great characters.  But there is no resolution. You know no more at the end than you did at the beginning and I really hate it when a great story just stops and leaves me sitting there frustrated, wishing I hadnt wasted my time. It feels like the author got bored and simply stopped writing.

Good read - except the ending.  It seemed like it all got wrapped up too quickly/conveniently.  Don't want to elaborate without giving it all away.  Enjoyed the book very much.

The storyline and presentation were great until the last page. I expect a conclusion for my money... not a stringer to the next book. I'm done.

I dropped one star from the rating only because at the end, after tremendous twists and turns, the author abruptly pulls the plug with an implausible much too facile resolution.

Aside from that, the book is a tremendous read and a tremendous education in presidential campaign politics.  And, yes, much is simplified and distorted.  But much is altogether painfully too much "right on."

I loved it.

This book kept your attention the whole way through, but the ending was anti-climatic. I was disappointed in the last chapter or so because you could definately see just where it was headed.

The book kept me entertained and off guard as to where it was heading.  Thoroughly enjoyed until the last page.

I couldn't put the book down, it was a great read. The only reason I gave it four stars was because of a certain aspect of the ending that just seemed too coincidental.

The book was soo good I couldn't put it down. Overall, the book was a real page turner and informative. The ending ... made me scratch my head. I wanted more! It just can't end the way it did.

Was a really great read.  However like most books, the ending just sort of happened.  It's almost as if the author just got tired of writing and wanted to finish the book.  Everything happened so quickly in the last few chapters.  No time to digest what was going on or any real development and story line.

Great read! The only thing I didn't care for was that the ending was abrupt and hokey. However, I would still have read it knowing that.

I loved reading this book..until I got to the last chapter. Had that last chapter been deleted I would have given it five stars. But sadly the final chapter ruined the book for me. Had I known that was how she'd end it I would have never read it in the first place. The four star rating is for all but the last chapter.

A great read. Tremendous detail, but it gets a little silly at the end.....

Fantastic read, I actually completed in 24 hours. The plot is wonderfully written and I appreciated the way the author handled each character's point of view.

My only complaint is that I felt the ending, literally the last page, was a bit abrupt.

It in no way takes away from the profound themes of what is life and death and in the end, the truth that no one makes it out alive.

I loved every minute of it except the last few pages. I hate how it ended...so much lost potential! Ugh! It was a phenomenal book until then.

Totally enjoyable page turner til the end. Was sorry to reach the end of the book, but thankful there is a sequel!

This novel had me enthralled with the great detail and character development. However, the last chapter just stops with no conclusion or epilogue to tell the reader what happened with the main characters.
