review 1: This book was on my 'to read' list for a long time, and I'm very disappointed now that I've actually read it. It was flat to me. Either the writing or the editing was sloppy ... another reviewer referenced a 'made-up' word ... it was 'discussment,' which doesn't appear in any of my dictionaries. It's a short novel, but seemed so rushed. The characters weren't ever fully developed, which may be a good thing as I found them universally unlikeable. I'm wondering why it was such a best seller.
review 2: Normally I like a book with a bit more character depth, but in the case of this story I feel as though more background on the characters would have ruined the main focus of the mystery. It would have been more predictable and the suspense I felt which compelled me
... moreto keep reading would have been put on the back burner. There are may more questions about the character's lives which could have been answered especially at the end, but the mystery was solved and I feel satisfied. less

Decent writing. Lacking story that could have been better developed.
