Well I'm not exactly sure how to rate this book. It is brilliant or mad writting. Probably both...

Story line, flow of story (although slow at times),ending (not what I expected but was the right ending, Amy is not a nice person), was something that was very crafty (as well as the book as a whole). I read a lot, as I am sure many of you do, so this book was so different from anything I had read before.

Now as far as the story itself...

I'm not partial to these kinds of books. It was very sadistic and I, too, felt the book ended really bad,(no child should ever be used as leverage, never ever, I don't care the situation).

I was on the wish list and was somewhere in the mid 500 range, so was out and about one day and saw the book and decided to buy it. Don't, just wait on the list and when you get the book you will be glad you didn't pay for it or go to the library.

So writting of the book 5 stars even if it did end on the down side...or not!!!

Subject matter of the book 1 star...


Also, too much offensive language that could have not been, shows the where too of the mind of the writer.

You don't have to use bad language to make a good book and you really don't have to use bad language to write a bad book! This would be the main reason I regret buying this book.

...my opinion only...this book (all) it's characters are mean spirited and very self absorbed. Not my cup of tea. First time reading this author. Most likely will not read another one of her books.
