It is a pretty good page turner, but spent too much effort in trying to be horrifying without really pulling it off. ( ) This was a First Reads win for me and sent to me for free. When I say I'm finished with this book, that isn't to say that I've read it, not entirely anyway. You see, I was really excited to read this book. If you haven't heard of it, please click on the book and read the synopsis. It sounds deliciously creepy! Imagine my disappointment when I read the Prologue and realized I already knew what was going to happen. I read a bit of Chapter 1, but was so convinced that I knew what was going to happen (and irritated by that fact) that I did something I don't normally ever do. I skipped ahead and read the last few pages...and I was right! *sigh* Sure, I didn't know the exact body count, or how they were eliminated. But, I knew who and why. Where's the fun in that? So, why the three stars then? Because, O'Brien is a good writer. If it hadn't been for the TMI in the Prologue I know I would have loved this book and it would have gotten more than three stars. How can I be so sure you say? I am convinced, because after reading those last few disheartening pages I also read the Epilogue. In that short space of time I was already getting attached to (view spoiler) I also really liked the way he wrapped things up at the end. If the author would only have dribbled that starting information out during the story instead of blabbing it all in the first few pages I would have been a very happy girl! *double sigh* If the author is irritated that I did not read his entire book, he can contact me and I will mail it back to him. Kevin O'Brien is a master of thrillers. I have loved all the books of his that I have read, this one included. There is a definite creepy factor as you experience that tense spine tingling feeling as the suspense builds. Mr O'Brien teases the readers leading up to where they'll be given the answers only to reveal just a little until the next time. While I did figure out where it was going well before the end, it was a great trip, with lots of twists and turns. Solid 4 1/2. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica
