It was a near-painful experience, reading this book from the perspective of a 13 year old boy who is afraid of a myriad of everyday things and feels pain intensively. And illuminating read, but I can't really call it enjoyable. Thank you, Netgalley fo ...more |

| This was a highly enjoyable twisty-turny thriller! I kept on thinking I knew what was happening but kept on being proven wrong. An original and tautly written tale that keeps unfolding in unexpected ways. Delicious ending.. Bravo! | |

| I had to stop reading this book because it was so one-dimensional. It seemed that the novel was nothing more than a vehicle to deliver scenes of sexual violence for the titillation of readers. I love a well-written thriller and am all for finely craf ...more | |

| Not the kind of book I usually read, but it was insightful. Recommended to anyone interested in the mind/physical sympton connection. | |
“Kat happened to get a spot in the cafeteria line-up just behind the young woman lawyer who presented the case against her grandfather. She had removed her black robe too, and Kat found her much less threatening in her cream coloured jacket and trousers. The woman grabbed a carton of milk and then a tossed salad from behind the Plexiglas door. "Stay clear of the noodle soup," she said to Kat pleasantly. "It's vile."
Kat smiled back at her. How odd that this woman could be so nice. It must all be in a day's work for her to tear apart and impoverish families. Kat grabbed some red Jell-O and a carton of orange juice for herself. She didn't really feel like eating: she was just going through the motions.”

Nice to hear from you, Kristin! Congrats on the new book and that's awesome about the painting!
Hi Marsha.Hope all is well in your world. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth; just left the social network. (It's been a year and a half already.) It wasn't a a healthy fit for me. New book coming out next spring. In the meantime, I'm honing my painting skills. Who knows? Perhaps I can become an illustrator. To catch up on my activity or to get in touch, please visit me at my website: www.kristinbutcher.com
