4.0

Really great book, much more than I ever usually get from mainstream books and a far more fun book than it could have been. Rather touching in many ways.

This is a dreadful book! It honestly has nothing that truly allows it to stand out as a story and satisfies itself with being a mimic of so many other superior sci-fi plots that it drove me nuts reading it!

Really great! I honestly enjoyed this very much and really got into the book and the complex relationship between the main character and her mother. I wouldn't have changed a single thing!

This is a book that takes a bit of courage to read really. It's Sebold's story of how she was raped, how it changed who she was as a person and how it affected her life afterwards. I admire her courage in telling the story and it truly came across in her words.

There's a reason these books are considered a must read! There are few books that can express the sense of adventure, friendship and camaraderie that these one did with quite the same success.
