Quite dark, original, unsettling. I found  'Peters Narration' the most interesting and disturbing

This was a such an interesting book. The story is dark, funny at times, and addictive. Sally Diamond is an incredible character, and I really enjoyed reading how her story played out.

Aw bruna bedankt voor dit recensie-exemplaar.  Wat een duister boek. Dit boek houdt je tot het einde gevangen. Er gebeurt een hele hoop en het boek blijft je verbazen. Je volgt twee verhaallijnen en het boek springt over tussen heden en verleden. Dit wordt op een hele fijne manier gedaan. Het boek bevat veel heftige thema's en is niet voor iedereen geschikt. Ik vond het een heel spannend en interessant verhaal, maar er zaten niet zoveel plots in. Het einde verliep ook net iets te snel. Ik had wel iets meer geheimzinnigheid willen zien als het om S. Gaat.
