review 1: Scott Nicholson’s book is a gut-wrenching tale of suspense from page one; with the protagonist Julia Stone, weaving in and out of a gloomy atmospheric world of searing panic attacks at the very brink of what is real and unreal as she attempts to negotiate the dark holes and memory lapses that pepper her past. It’s a good book, but not an excellent one, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The plotting and pacing are tight, supported by a good, if somewhat predictable story line that is doled out in such an economical way as to fan the Reader’s interest and still spin a good yarn. Nicholson does a great job describing the dark foreboding nature of fear and how it can assume a life of its own—for make no mistake, fear is the main antagonist in this yarn; and someti... moremes it’s good to be afraid.
review 2: Crap. I figured out the plot of this book about 10 pages in. And Julia just needed to have the ever-living shit smacked out of her. She has nightmares. She hears voices. Every man she comes across is a Creep...not a creep...a Creep. She sees a therapist. She moves out of the big city and begins going to another therapist who helps her bring out her 'repressed' memories. But she's still having nightmares, hearing voices, having panic attacks and seeing Creeps. No one can be trusted, she can't even trust herself.Overall, I thought she was a pretty pathetic character. Her fiancee was an overbearing asshole who called her crazy and actually whined about going without sex for six months because they lived in different states. And she actually sits and contemplates her future with him in terms of...he'll have an affair or several but I'll forgive him and get botox and a boob job so he'll still love me. Um, what?Daddy did bad things to me or maybe he didn't. Maybe it was his Satanist buddies or wait, maybe it was daddy. But then he left me. Julia was just all over the place. I know real people struggle with the type of disorder(s) she did in the book. But damn, hop off the no-pill train and take some damn Prozac.I did not enjoy this book and I do not recommend it. less
