"What a fabulous author! The author writes small stories within the story that all leads up to the twist at the end. She does a very good job!!! I loved her style. "

    " This was a weird one. I really appreciated the author's skill with the unreliable narrator, and she weaved in a lot of historical stuff on cannibalism that was interesting. But ultimately, the main character is kind of annoying. "

    " I had a very strange experience with this book. As I was reading certain scenes, I KNEW what would happen next, almost as if I had read it before. Then I realized that I had read this book before, probably when it came out. But it took me over half the book before I recognized it! I've never forgotten about a book so completely as this one, so although it was pretty good, I'm lowering it a star for sheer forgettable-ness. "

    " I like the idea of a modern Gothic novel, but this reads like a first draft someone didn't feel like revising. I didn't find it especially literary despite what some of the reviews led me to believe. Most people in our book club had a hard time finding a copy. Now I know why. "
