After reading reviews here and on Amazon, I was fully prepared to DESPISE this book. Call it the masochist in me, but I like a challenge sometimes. This book gave no pain at all. A great read; engrossing, heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. I found some parts a little creepy (The 'friend's son' incident) but it reads unpretentiously and satisfyingly. Sebold does a great job of making the reader feel the desperation of the main character without overdoing the suspense. Recommended!
