Not worth hype
This book sort of grabbed me after the first transition, but overall, I can't see what the hype was about. It was disturbing, and kind of irritating to see both of these totally unlikeable characters evolve. But I didn't think it was particularly innovative. Everyone involved in this story was either weak, crazy, a jerk, or all together. The ending was realistic but totally disappointing. Overall, it was pretty depressing.
Creepy!
A really well-written psychological thriller. I enjoyed the three different voices used (his, hers, her diary). I honestly expected a very different ending until at least two-thirds of the way through the book. His fascination with the shape of her head made me think he'd done something to it. I was pleasantly (!) surprised that things went in a very different direction.
WOW
WOW What a thriller-couldn't put it down
WOW
This was the best book I read all summer. Really had me engrossed and thinking about the characters for days after.
Well written but too crazy for me
This book was very well written. The author writes from different points of view and it comes together seamlessly without leaving the reader lost and confused. The problem I had was with the craziness. For lack of being a spoiler, I will say no more.
yup
It was freaking amazing

Keeps you guessing
The tale is told alternately thru a husband's voice and his wife's diary entries, with an interesting play on time. A fun read.
