Elizabeth R. (esjro) - , reviewed on 10/9/2010 + 916 more book reviews

I don't know what to make of this book. The first two thirds described the protagonist's year with a psycho who has kidnapped her. Though suspenseful and well-written, I found the level of detail excruciating, particularly when she describes how her torturer raped her regularly. It almost seemed gratuitous, and I kept hoping to find some redeeming value. Alas it was not to be. The latter part of the book is a whodunnit, and did not have the same sense of realism that the grizzly parts did. The latter part seemed contrived to me. Although this author clearly has a ton of talent, this book was too uneven and the good parts too sadistic to be enjoyable.
