This book is one of those windows into peoples lives which give one the feeling that within everyone is a dark side, a vulnerable side, and a weak persona. I gave it a 3 because I thought it lacked a strong climax and seemed to be lacking strong ending until the very end. I am glad I read it. It made me think about how the things evolved and how what one sees isn't exactly what is. It is one of those books you wonder later if you misunderstood it and you go back and reread it. Something you can't do in life. It is a twisted tale, one I'd recommend for fun reading. I read it through in a few days before bed..didn't want to put it down. The story between a bad girl, or a victim, and a naive professor is saucy and in the end, you really still don't know. And that is what makes the book so good. You only realize it is good, at the very end.
