I'm not sure where to start on this one.. Excellent book but at times I wasn't sure I would finish it as the subject matter is SO painful.. I experienced a wide spectrum of emotions with this one.. From hating the victims to empathizing with the "villain" - but as a parent of small children mostly my heart breaking for the parents of all the children involved.. Actually, I had to make myself stop reading before bed, as I would end up thinking about the book & not sleeping. I finished it last night & cried for a while. ncredibly well written - but does take a bit to get used to the jumping back & forth between past & present. Highly recommended but not for the squeamish!!
