I read that recently and really enjoyed it. IMHO it slows down around the middle, but not in a bad way. I especially appreciated the way the author gets inside the characters heads and makes you care very quickly about them. Mom liked it too. Funny aside - I bought it for my Nook and recommended it to Mom. Mom bought it and read it on her Nook. While cleaning the living room last week, she found a hard copy of the same book that she forget she had already bought.
