I really had a hard time with this one. I love intelligent books, but not if it comes down to risking the effectiveness of the characters. Truthfully, I'm not sure why I didn't put this down. I think maybe because the book moved along fairly quickly, I knew it would be over soon. The problem for me was that, aside from the two little girls (and even then, that was iffy), I couldn't bring myself to care about any of the main characters. I finally got into the book when there was perhaps 60 pages left. I still didn't much care about the characters or their transformation.

Lots of religious stuff in here too. Some of that material went over my head, as I'm not the most religious person, so perhaps that took away from my enjoyment as well.


That being said, I just didn't like the storyline. As far as Kimmel's writing style, I loved it. I would absolutely read other books of hers in the future based on this alone, but I would pay more attention to the subject of the plot before making my final decision.
