I had the same exact thought the moment I finished it.

After a week of reflection, I think it was a slight overreaction -- the book is still very very good but i dont think #1 for me.

But something about the way the story took shape and culminated in the final third of the book was so engaging, and so satisfying. I think I stayed up until 4 or 5AM the night I finished the last 200 pages.
