Unputdownable! Well thought out and very unique. Loved it. Definitely a reread due at some stage... need to see what I missed cluewise!
A book to keep you up all night and make you question if you really know others AND yourself, at all.
Didn't see that end coming either ! And it is a 5* + for me. ...more

UPDATE 4/16/13: WHY DID I GIVE THIS BOOK 3 stars? Ugh! I guess I was looking at the 'potential' it had to become a good book. Puh-leeze. Wish I could give half a star. Having revisited this, it just makes me angry that I wasted my time. Even more angry that this book has become a HUGE success.
*************

Well, it started off on FIRE! This was a GREAT book...until about 3/4 of they way and then it became a muddled mess. I'm not sure why folks are continuing to give this book 4+ or more stars, bu ...more

I would rate the first 3/4 of this book as a 4 star at least, but the last quarter of the book was crazy and when it was over I realized that I disliked both characters so much that the end--which was horrible--was actually perfect.

This book wasn't worth the hype. I found it to be dull and boring. I thought the main character uninteresting. I thought the husband Nick to be flat and uninteresting as well. Though there were supposed twists and turns. They were just bizaree. I cheered when things didn't go Amy's way. As a crime book, it also fell flat. The police characters were noncholant the case. I meam after ten days, Amy was still missing and they had absolutely no clues to her whereabouts? Nick just accepted it all with ...more

So I am late to read this one. For me this book was a bit of all things; well paced and slow, amusing and utterly dull, completely psychopathic and utterly predictable. The ending I guess was perfect, but I would have preferred a murder suicide if I am honest.

This book kept grabbing me, and each time it was as powerful as if it had been the first time. The twists and turns kept happening -- just as I thought finally it had all settled down and I understood what was going on, something made me totally change my perspective on everything. And the end of the book left me ... ragged, wondering, worrying, ... convinced that this can't really be how it is.

The characters were well-drawn, even some of the minor ones. Nick resonated with me the most. He seeme ...more

This book wasn't all it was touted to be. I was very disappointed in it. That Amy girl is one sick, weirdo. I mean...come on. I just wasn't as impressed as everyone was making this book out to be. ...more
