review 1: This is a brilliant book; very well-written and thought-provoking. The subject matter is very upsetting, and I was initially unsure about reading as I am getting squeamish in my old age, but it is handled very sensitively and intelligently. I became totally engrossed in the story and the characters who are dealing with the repercussions of the short but life-changing event, and I spent most of the courtroom section of the book in tears. Not an enjoyable read, but a very very good one.
review 2: 4.5 stars really. That was a hard read, probably the hardest of the year. It was compelling (goodness knows I thought I'd stop often enough) but tough. Did I like it? Not really. Would I read it again? Probably not. I'm not sure it's a book written to be liked, or... more read again, it's too harrowing for that. Was it well written? Yes, definitely. She made the characters and the tragedy real, which is why I both loved it and hated it. I hope that's what she wanted! less
