review 1: The first half of the book was a little confusing as it jumped from one person's view to another. The beginning of the book got my attention, but then those characters faded away almost as if they were a different story in themselves. What I liked most about this book (at least the second half) showed me how my opinion can change just based on scant evidence as in what is presented in the tv news or a magazine article that may or may not be based on the truth. I don't want to give away spoilers, but this book made me want to keep reading to see what happens.
review 2: After reading the reviews of this book, I was disappointed. The plot line, which made up possibly one third of the book was good, but the ending was disappointing and disheartening. It left a lot ... moreto the imagination, and not in a good way. I feel that the author created all this suspense just to leave one of the largest questions eternally unanswered. Furthermore, I feel that the author made too much of an effort on description; from scenery to character background. To me, it felt like space filler more than necessary material. This pause in the plot line, which seemed to happen almost every other page, left me in a place where I often had to go back and remind myself what was going on in the story before I could continue. Finally, I feel that the way the author skipped around to different characters was reminiscent of a person who suffers from ADD or ADHD. I found myself confused more than not by the change in perspective. I would not recommend this book. less
