No hook.
There was absolutely nothing worthwhile about reading this boook except for the pleasure of finishing it. It was a drag from start to finish. The main character seems untouchable. Throughout all of these horrible events in her life you never find out what she is THINKING! In order to write a novel, you need a good basis of characters. It is obvious that the author didn't know her characters well enough to tell us what they were thinking. I mean the girl is tied to a chair and almost killed and all R.A. Nelson gives us is an "gee, i'm scared." This book falls flat on many different levels including the emotional one.

It was an amazing book. Kind of hard to follow at first but stick with it. You will not be disappointed.

frightening because the monsters are real
My teen recommended this book, and I read it in about 3 hours. I could not put it down, it was very, very compelling. Of course, after reading it, and knowing my teen had found it so compelling as well, led to a serious discussion of the mental health and violent images in the book. This was good, however, I wish I had read the book before her and prepared for the issues. It is a heartbreaking, tragic story, that will make you want to hug your kids for a long time!
