    " She manages to let the reader know more than the characters do without boring us. Missoula is wonderfully vivid. There isn't a neat ending, which is refreshing. A worthwhile read. "

    " This was perhaps the worst book I have ever read. I was compelled by the mystery to finish it, which was a mistake. I felt like it was saturated in references to alcohol and hard liquor, and was just generally left feeling like it didn't deliver anything of value. "

    " The narrator remembers her sister reading "Miss Nelson is Missing". Reading that children's story adds dimension to this novel. "

    " I can't remember the plot, so I must not have enjoyed. But I also finished it, which means I didn't hate it. "

    " I really liked this book. I read it in an afternoon which is rare for me, but I was sad when it was over. It is a great story to get sucked into with little investment of time or energy. :-) "

    " Read for my book club. It was okay. The ending was rather abrupt. There was not much of a connection to the characters. "

    " This was supposed to be a book that began with tragedy and end with victory and hope, right? Well, it did, but it was such a twisted way of finding that happy ending, that the whole book was really just depressing. Even the "happy ending" wasn't so happy after all. "

    " I was an interesting book. It did jump back and forth between two narrators, so you had to pay close attention. It is a book worth reading. "
