This is a chilling tale, very well written, with a surprise at the end. it's a lot more intense than Bohjalian's other works and maybe shows his progression as an author. I recommend this book.

This was an insanely awesome book! I COULD NOT put it down until it was completely finished. And even then, I went back through to reread a few parts. I can't even put it into words how good this was - all I can say is "YOU'VE GOTTA READ IT!".

A perplexing, astonishing book. Bohajlian takes some chances and doesn't disappoint.

I picked up this book at a Goodwill,and it sat on the shelf for.months. Last night,I decided to read it. By the second chapter,I knew I was in this book 'til the end.5am,I finished it,all I can say is "WOW". I like the way this man writes,for me,I like the book to build up,and not share it's secrets 'till the end.That being said,I was blown away by the ending.Was I not paying attention/Did I take too much for granted(In my own mind,what I thought Was going to happen?).At any rate I really enjoyed this book,and I look forward to reading another of his. Any suggestions?

The book was interesting, but the ending was seemingly abrupt.

Don't be fooled by the mild descriptions of violence in the beginning. Even though it is fairly well written, it gets darker and darker and creepier. I have a teenage daughter and I wish I hadn't read it!
