The whole romp probably should have stopped after the first chapter as the attempt at humor fell flat with me. The characters seemed to float in and out and change each time they found themselves on a different page. Her Scarpetta books of death and mystery are the top of the line and worth waiting for but this book belongs on the bottom of the heap. I kept hoping the action would pick up but between crabs and the Crimms nothing clicked or was worth the slog.

This is the creepiest book I have ever read. Jack has been brought up in a room by a 19 year old college student who knows the correct grammar. Then why does a bright boy as is Jack use poor grammar? He has never heard poor grammar. The emphasis on the breast feeding is totally creepy. The mother a is sick and creepy person and her boy is a little monster. I see no difference between Old Nick, Ma and Jack. Sickos.
