review 1: This is a book where you either like it or you don't. I don't think it's a book you can really LOVE. I brought it along with me on a trip out to the country, which I really think helped me like it more then if I were just sitting at home. The main character, Sam, at times I hated him and thought he deserved what was coming to him and at other just felt really sorry for him. Not something I would ever read again, as I hated the style in was written in. I had to find myself going back and reading parts again just to try and understand correctly what the character was saying. All in all, still a pretty good read.
review 2: Hm...disappointing. It began SO promising. The writing was wonderful, the story was dark in that realistic way - your next-door neighbour va... moreriety of madness. But I had a feeling the whole way through that it would turn out to have some kind of twist, and it just didn't. It was so predictable. And the second half was so so disturbing...only to end in the cheesiest way. I felt the novel was trying to say something, make a comment on life...and then it copped out with an epilogue straight out of a '50s b-movie. less
