Wow submitted by Esmat on April 14, 2009, 12:48pm I loved this book. Its very interesting but it sort of sad so read this book!
A real page-turner submitted by MariaK on July 6, 2010, 5:17pm This book is a quick read, and very suspenseful! You will be up late at night to read what happens next.
:) submitted by jmock on January 26, 2012, 9:02pm Great with the psychology!!! Usually, authors are really weak in this area and don't get the emotions/internal warfare/reaction to trauma correctly. Also a great story of change
