Zodiac (unlike it's plot and characters) was a mysterious contradiction. Despite the fact that there was a lot that I didn't like, it's not that I didn't like the book, because I did. When I finished reading Zodiac my first thought was, this was good but getting to the good stuff was kind of rough. *** I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher at BEA for an honest review, This fact has not changed my opinion.
