Blown Away. incredible Writing.

This is the first book of hers I've read, and I'm glad I picked it. Wow. The writing is superb, and the characters well-fluffed out from a couple different points of view. I found myself re-reading a few chapters to make sure I was on the right track of the story. It's very smart, page by page. I was slightly disappointed by not knowing the ending of one character. But it was minor compared to the rest of this awesome and super-psyche-shifting thriller.

Superb narration

This is a great book but even if it wasn’t - the narrator is spot on!!

The narration was stellar

The story was decent although I lost thread of the characters a couple times and had to back up and listen again.
The narrator did an excellent job with the different voices and really made them come to life
I did find the Lissy character a bit of a wimp and kept yelling at her to get a backbone

Shallow and annoying

Blech. I didn't like the characters. The plot was flimsy, and I found it impossible to sink my teeth into the story. The narrator was terrible - borderline obnoxious. Three chapters left and I gave up.
