Just, wow. Well, I thought so. I thought the writing was wonderful. I think the author did a great job of dealing with the subject matter honestly. Anyone else read this? What did you think? It was one of those books I woke up in the middle of the night to read more (of course, I'm off work this week) and when I finished it, I just sat there for a minute. I'm still thinking about it.
I had to reread it, questioning how accurate the narrative voice was all the way through - we only heard it from her perspective and she was a very frustrated woman. I still wan't sure at the end of the second read, but it was due back at the library.

I enjoyed it and was disturbed by it in equal measure and yes it really did make me THINK.
