This is a great book, but it was so creepy that I just can't mark the 5th star. In fact, I almost marked the star for "I didn't like it." I can't say I enjoyed the book, but it sure was compelling.

I couldnt put this down -- it was so engaging, but did i miss something or did it really not have an ending? and what was with that epilogue? I like books with tidy endings, but I know she's not really into that... btw, does she ever write anything lighthearted???

so many good reviews for this book but i just didn't like it. i didn't even finish it. maybe i was too young? i'm willing to give this book another go.
