- Overall Performance:
" uh, I liked this book until it took a crazy turn. The ending was nuts. "
— Bianca, 6/26/2011 - Overall Performance:
" A complicated, epic story worth reading. "
— Jen, 6/11/2011 - Overall Performance:
" This book made me fall in love over and over with the craft of writing. The subject is not one that I'll ever be comfortable wtih -- the storytelling is superb nonetheless. "
— Victoria, 6/9/2011 - Overall Performance:
" Intense, disturbing and almost two books in one. The first part alone would have been enough to deal with. The second half just drives home the relentlessness of the human condition, especially in isolated communities. "
— Robert, 5/29/2011 - Overall Performance:
" Unbelievably good. A family with secrets, tragedies and love that will haunt you forever. "
— Carol, 5/25/2011 - Overall Performance:
" A bit of everything in the book. ever really got off the ground "
— Ann, 5/23/2011 - Overall Performance:
" When I finished it, I laid it on my chest and just let the mindfuck take over. I've read it about 5 times since. Terrific book. "
— Malysa, 5/22/2011 - Overall Performance:
" I think I missed some things, maybe, I dunno, I didn't get this. There was a lot going on. It was very well written, just lots to take in. Good overall. "
— Shawna, 5/19/2011 - Overall Performance:
" The writing is gorgeous, but I got bored. Melodramatic and over-wrought. However, I did finish the entire novel and don't resent a bit of the time I spent on it. So that says a lot. ;) "
