Search - The Year of Fog

Very good story. The author does a good job of reeling you in to the character's feelings. I wanted to jump right in the book and help these people. I couldn't wait to find out what happened.

WOW! Michelle Richmond is now one of my favorite writers simply because of this book. Here's what the book is about from the back cover: A child's disappearance is at the heart of the riveting read that follows photographer, fiancee and soon-to-be stepmother Abby Mason. Once the drama starts, prepare to race to the last page.

I couldn't put this book down. If you like Jaquelyn Mitchard or Jodi Picoult, you will like this book.

Loved it! Finished in record time because I couldn't put it down! The writing style was really unique - there were many psychological references that were really interesting (and I'm not typically interested in that type of thing) and really added to the context of the story. It ended slightly abruptly with some loose ends. I can totally imagine another story with the main character that could stand completely alone and apart from the plot of this story. Definitely recommend!

Loved this book. It is about a woman who blames herself when her fiancee's young daughter goes missing while they are walking together. It deals with her feeling, the changes in her relationship with the girl's father, and her search for the girl. It has interesting information about memory and how it works. It's the first book in a long time that I seriously considered reading again only a couple of months later.

The beginning starts great, the middle just drags on and on and the end just came to an abrupt stop. All and all, it was ok.

The Year of Fog is a very good, very well-written book. It is long and, at times, seems a little too long. What's wonderful about that is that it's intentional. The protagonist, Abby, is searching for a little girl who has disappeared. Desperate to find her and refusing to give up, Abby spends every minute worrying about the little girl and trying to figure out how to locate her, where she could be. Meanwhile, Abby is trying to make a living and encourage herself to get on with her life as the days pass slowly, intolerably. During the times when the story seems slow or the book kind of plods along, the reader becomes aware of how awful this time must be for Abby. Each day that passes, that the little girl isn't found is another day without her. It'sd excruciating, painful. As quickly as the days pass, they also seem interminable.
This is a great book about a terrible situation that occurrs more often then any of us want to know.
