review 1: Very mesmerizing to me. It is set in the hill country of Scotland. Both the main character and his almost main character father have some aberration in their thinking and moral makeup. And they are not nice or really honest people. The father is a wealthy contractor who got there on his own steam, not family influence, wealth or anything like that. And he wants it all to go to his son although he knows that there are things wrong with the boy and is merciless in trying to correct them. Starts with a horrible accident caused by irresponsible driving in which people were killed including Thomas's wife. The son of the contractor was responsible. Then, to cover up the crime as irresponsible boy keeps shooting his mouth off, the plot thickens and a road of really heavy ... moretwists starts and continues racing onward. It really had me going!
review 2: This book was a dark look at philosophy and the morals and choices that we make as well as what haunts us about our choices. I think depending on your own experience, you will see the book slightly differently. I thought the writing was brilliant and sort of like Stephen King meets Tim Burton. Metaphors were used throughout the book to describe both people and "what lurks"...depending on how you interpret them, you could see the "light" or "darkness" of every character and/or action, i.e. bird-like, butterflies, gas. For me this was extremely thought-provoking and kept me on the edge of my seat as I tried to figure out what each metaphor meant and how/who would conquer their own demons from within. less
