A good read that make you go "Hmmmmmmmm" at the end. I think it could be developed even further to get even a better understanding of his mind. I liked the characters and could definitely see even more description of them added.

Overall I would definitely recommend this book to someone who does not like know what will come next. It's definitely not a book that you'll figure out before you get to the ending.

While the story line of this book could have been good, the writer couldn't complete a thought! I felt like I was reading a book by someone with Multiple Personality Disorder! The author is constantly switching from one thought to another without completing a single thought. I was ready to put it down from the first page but thought that the author would make sense eventually. The ending was better than the beginning but it was torture the entire way.

This was the first book I've actually thrown in the trash because I didn't want someone else to suffer. The language in this book is also constantly foul - I don't mind some language, but it was too much.

I had hoped to like this author and had anticipated getting 5 more of her books but don't want to waste the money.

Started and finished this book in one day so its a quick read. I found the writing to be dry - more like I would expect from a professor or textbook. I didn't feel like there was alot of content to it. The author obviously had a very troubled childhood that everyone in her family attributed to. I'm just glad she was able to come out of it and have a family of her own who hopefully adores her.
