Review

I had mixed feelings on this book for various reasons. The characters were well written, and the emotional trauma that Alison is facing is very aptly written and very emotionally fulfilling. The areas where I had problems is that at times Alison’s behavior or what her family perceived as going on, brought back some rough memories from my childhood when my own mother suffered from emotional problems. The characters, some of the ways they handled it, and some of the things said brought me back to those years that I’d tried to put behind me. However, I’ll consider that as a talent of the author, not a drawback.

The situations I found very realistc, I found it raising perplexing philosophical questions and I’d have to stop reading from time to time and reflect. By the end I was very satisfied with the conclusion, and it fit with everything that occurred previously in the book. If you like psychological thrillers, and a look into the human mind, and enjoy really psychopathic bad guys, then pick this up. I think you’ll enjoy it. Be sure and stop back in and let us know what you thought.
