I loved this book. I think that Bohjalian did a masterful job of bringing together all the elements into one very surprising ending. I obviously am not as perceptive as some of the reviewers - it crept up on me and I was stunned. I was initially apprehensive about the fictionalization of fiction - particularly since it involved one of my favorite books - but I now understand why it was done and why it was necessary. I hate when reviewers give a synopsis of the book for those who read the reviews before reading the book. Suffice it to say, this is a worthwhile read. I am an even more confirmed fan of Chris Bohjalian.
