I really enjoyed it. After I finished I felt like I needed to read it again b/c of that last sentence. I didn't really catch on. I'd call it a psychological thriller as well as a dark realistic fiction. You really have to pay attention.<br /><br />Good review and glad someone else noticed it!<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635008501893341350.post-60972853331893918132011-08-24T04:56:58.338+10:002011-08-24T04:56:58.338+10:00At first I'm thinking...
