review 1: The blurb attracted me and I picked it up in the library. I was not disaapointed. Though I felt toward the ending the story lost its intriguing quality to me. I found this book interesting, entertaining and different from usual missing child stories. The book kept me hooked to it untill I finished it all. I started it in the afternoon and finished it by night. I would surely read another book by author.
review 2: Enjoyed reading this book although thought the plot was transparent and was diappointed that it wasn't the pageturner I had expected. Dan is 12 when he fails to return home from school one day. This event has a drastic effect of Annie (his mother) and Julian's relationship. Julian is the new partner of Annie and they were just planning their wedding wh... moreen this happened. The story is told through the eyes of Julian as the outsider. 3 years later there is a call from Glasgow saying that Dan is there. Again this effects their relationship even more. Good read but not the heartwrencher I was expecting as the subject matter could be very emotive.Falls short of being like We Need To Talk About Kevin. less
