To be fair I was listening to the audio book and it was moving to slow for my taste. I stopped at the 2nd disc with the intention of checking the actual book out and trying one more time. I haven't done it yet though-stay tuned....ok so I decided to try the audiobook one more time and I enjoyed the 2nd half more then I did the first half. I still feel like wtf?? I dont quite understand what is happening in the tower or what the crawler actually is?? I am going to try the 2nd book because Im curious now and just want some answers to this craziness! if that was the authors intention, he quite succeeded there.
