The Best First Half of a Book I've Ever Read

It was just getting to the good part when I tapped my Kindle to go to the next page and there wasn't any more. If this were a sample for a book, I would have given it 5 stars, but it's intended to be a whole book. Instead, there were a number of main characters, and the book changes point of view with each chapter, because each chapter is told by a different character. To add to the confusion, it jumps around in time, so you are really lost at the beginning of each chapter. Near the beginning of a lot of chapters, I'd get a few pages in, and have to refer back to the beginning of the chapter to check on who the character is whose viewpoint I'm reading. You have to work to understand what's going on, and, although this adds to the excitement, it's a very haphazard way to deal with the story. And just stopping in the middle of a story means, for me, that I won't buy any of the author's books, ever again.
