Personal opinion:

I really liked this book. There were some spots were the story was a little slow, but for the most part, I couldn't put it down. It's captivating and really makes you think about your own life and self-image. The only thing wrong with this book is that it leaves you hanging at the end. It's the kind of book where you have to read the whole series to be completely satisfied. But it would be worth your time.
