          <body><![CDATA[Intense, plot-driven novel that my son and I read out loud. I loved the action and the constant questioning of the relationships but kept having to steer my emotions away from the premise: kids killing kids. I guess I'm too much of a realist.]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[I agree with your comments here. I loved the way she creates such a bleak feeling throughout. Having read her other two books, I come away with a feeling that had she been more psychological, especially in HOME, for example, she'd have added a much deeper layer to her texts. Of course, that could be just me!  ]]></body>
