Starts fairly confusing, ends shabbily I think the book started well, if a tad confusing. Had to go back and forth a few tiimes to understand how it was written. It was written from the future backward to the present and even the past. Trust me, pretty confusing. For me, the end was dissappointing. No completion or closure especially after spending time detailing the story. The male characters sometimes sounded real and other times, confusing also. I would have rated this a 2 but in fairness, the story started off well.
Didn't grab me This book failed to grab me and I couldn't finish it. The premise of the different view points was interesting, but I din't hear distinct styles for all these protagonists, it was like they all spoke with one voice. I also got confused as to who was who in relation to the other characters, had to go back lots of times. I wouldn't recommend this book.
Great! Book in great condition. Received in a timely manner. Very happy with purchase.
great I love the way Jodi writes. I have read all her books and she has outdone herself again. A must read
Needs real concentration... I enjoyed the book but needed to go back and reread some parts to find out what the character was referring to...
