Yeahhhhh.....not a fan of this book. Not really at all. Here's the thing: I actually thought the plot was decent and unique. Yes, it was sick and twisted but I thought it was interesting. I wasn't really annoyed with Claire or Tony or anything. What I HATED was the author's voice. The writing was so blah to me. I felt the book was so drawn out with day by day doldrums and trip after trip and bland happenings. I like character depth and conversation or inner monologue, not just "...Claire walked to the closet and picked up the clothes that had been chosen for her. She put on her make up and wondered where Catherine was. The Iowa sun was bright that day and she had an entire day to read before Tony returned home...." bla bla bla. I got so impatient. The book - to me - was so long for not much reason. I am interested in where the story goes and what Tony's background and motives are (hopefully they are revealed eventually) but haven't decided if I'll be able to bring myself to read the next in series....
