Search - Songs for the Missing

I liked this book, I thought it was well written and the author does a good job of taking you into the mind of those affected my the disappearance of the daughter. It just becomes too much. You identify with the anguish of not knowing but somehow it feels like the author is playing with your emotions, sensationalizing the discription to pull at your emotional strings. Something about it doesn't seem honest to me. By the last third of the book I just wanted to get through it.

This book is a compelling account of one family and it's loss, which is so different for each member.

One of those you don't want to put down books.

I highyly recommend.

A brilliantly observed novel about a family's worst nightmare that lingers in the imagination long after the last page is turned.

I had mixed feelings reading this book. It was a good read, but not great, not spectacular. I felt like there was too much information that was missing from the story, but then there were useless details added. I found myself skimming through some parts. The ending certainly left a lot to be desired. Overall, just not real impressed.

Enjoyed it. Classic O'Nan.
