Wow. This was amazing. It makes you ask so many questions about right/wrong, forgivness, condemnation, pride, self-image and survival. I could not put this down, even though it was divided into three parts, (meaning, if I'm not totally into a book sometimes I stop at the end of a part). I was intrigued by this, especially by the Hanna character.

I almost gave up on this in the beginning. But I think that knowing it was loosely autobiographical had me curious. I wish that I had not been aware of the fact that it was an Oscar nominated film starring Kate Winslet, I would have enjoyed it more if my mind could picture anyone but her (the actress is much more beautiful than the character is described).
A little creepy. A little sad.

I will accept no one trashing this book! I bawled my eyes out through the last 10 pages when I got the idea of why it might’ve ended the way it did.
