I had a hard time rating this book as the main character, Lib, was so oblivious for mostof the story and hard to relate to or like. She, however, was not the only character to frustrate me and cause me to talk back to while I listened to the talking book version of the book.
I'm also unsure of the ending. It was the ending you wanted but was it really the right one? Could Anna really have survived after doing that much damage to herself and being so close to death?

Wavered between a 3 and 4 stars throughout, closer to a 4 overall
Really well written. I liked the sense of place and time, the creeping horror was well paced, the characters well-drawn. Yes this followed the Hollywood film arc pretty consistently (I'm not surprised it's been made into a film) but it felt satisfying rather than predictable.

An imaginative story but the writing is a bit clumsy and religion is dealt with very heavy handedly.

If you asked me what I thought about this book at about 50 pages in, I hated it!
However, there's a point where the main character starts to figure out the girl's secret and how she has been able to go with out food for so long. From that point on - wow!!!!
I loved the light discussion of religion in the book too. It was eye opening to be reminded how much Catholics and Protestants once hated each other.
