review 1: An interesting story told from the perspective of a 7-year-old girl about her and her brother being kept from the world by their mother, until one day when their mother doesn't return and they accidentally discover the outside world. I really liked this book, although I didn't know what to expect going into it so it took me a bit to get into the story and understand what this mother was doing to her children. I have so many unanswered questions also. It's like the author wasn't sure how to have one of the supporting characters relate to the main character, so they just disappeared. The ending left too many loose ends in my opinion, otherwise I would have given it 4 stars.
review 2: My biggest complaint about this book was that it ended and I didn't feel it... more was finished. There were so many things that I wanted explanations about. However, I understand that this was most likely what Watson meant to do. I'm assuming that because although I've obviously never spoken to the author, the book is so well written that I have to assume that this was done intentionally and not merely as an oversight. Anyway, I liked it. less
