First let me say my low rating is extreme bias on my part. I am claustrophobic. Not in all situations, but in specific situations. When I read this book I found my claustrophobia extends to a situation I have never found myself in - living in a house surrounded on all sides by high sand. I am sure this book is very well written because it put me in such a state as to have to put it down and go get some fresh air - continuously.
So, I'm pretty sure this was a good book - it's just that I didn't enjoy it, due to my phobia. Just thinking about it now gives me the heebee jeebees!
