I really DNF this book. I read 14 pages. The summary on the back of the book intrigued me. The idea that the action takes place in just 24 hours sounded interesting, but once I started reading I decided this is not the book for me. I enjoyed Sebold's The Lovely Bones (which I read when I was ~14 and haven't reread since... I suspect it might horrify me now), but The Almost Moon feels overwritten. I don't believe the novel will ever get to be searing (or fast-paced) like it says on the tin.
From what I've seen on goodreads this is a very polarizing book. I have a feeling if I finish it, I'll be in the camp that hates it so I'm not going to waste my time.
