I had a little trouble getting into this book. It wasn't slow exactly, but the beginning was deliberately vague so it was a little jarring at first to figure out what was going on and what was happening in the story. Once you were able to establish what the pattern was and that we were getting closer to what 'it' was it started to grip you and take hold.
Overall, my positive feelings about this book grew with time. As the story steadily crescendoed, so did my liking of the book. I thought it was well written and the characters were very multi-dimensional. You both hated and sympathized with them. (Making them believable to me.)
I enjoyed the "twist" and really didn't see it coming. The hint that you were given where things weren't quite the way you were originally told ended up being quite a surprise. I thought it would be a different version, but not THAT different. That probably is more a 'me' thing. I never have the ability to pick things out ahead of time, but I was surprised and it only made me want to finish the book faster.
I would definitely recommend this book. I hope that if someday they make it into a movie it isn't cheesy. I could really see it becoming a poor Lifetime movie. I think this fits well in book form and am not sure it would translate to the big screen as easily.
Overall, I paid $1.99 for this book and was pleasantly surprised. It didn't blow me away, but it was good enough for a 4 rating.
